Ride shocks by Accutune

[Beat95yj]

Who will be the first to try them? I have known the guys at Accutune for 20+ years. They have worked for several shock companies in both design and sales of the good stuff. Inertia (acceleration) sensitive, frequency sensitive, velocity and position sensitive shocks. Doubt they make them for a chopped up LJ, but keep an eye on them.

I'm hoping for some cool shocks from them, but right now it's just gay Toyotas.

 

[KenV]

Broncos, too. Not sure on the gay part.

i want to see the insides

They need to make them for real trucks. I need something good for my 3500 Chevy, but it looks like Bilstein is getting my business this summer.

I would hope they are smart enough to not skimp on the internals. There was a pic of a piston on their promo but it might have been a generic pic as well.

So, FOA 2.0?

3 port piston, no shaft spacer, short seal head...... All things you like to see in a durable shock.

Not to derail this but does anyone have an opinion on the brand carbon shocks?

Ryan @Accutune has done great work for a bunch of my buddies.

Really? Live under a rock. Garbage. They are Foa 2.0 from the thread here or at the other place and FB posts ( in Same thread). Or last I saw anyways.

I think they are targeting Overlanders not race cars. For a ton of applications that is completely sufficient.

I’m thinking of taking a ride down to San Diego. Just to check it out. We will see.

I imagine Ryan will do a video where he talks about the internals.

They made a lot of questionable choices in the beginning. I asked about some of them, never got great answers.

No social media, so I had no clue about them. FOA 2.0 is a big no to me

Wait, I was just joking about FOA.

But...Ryan?! Ryan was the PR guy shilling for FOA at their very beginning.

Coincidence, right?

 

[Chevy_man]

Now that you got me looking, Fox 2.0 are tunable and rebuildable for not much more than Bilstein 5100s....

Looks like I'll be going Fox now.

Ryan never had anything to do with FOA. You are thinking of the wrong person.

Well, when you have everything made in China, you can get competitive on prices.

You're right. I'm . It was MotoChris.

FOA SHOCKS...Any good ?

Saw some FOA coilover shocks really cheap, wondering if theyre any good ? they chineese ? Any body use em ? el tiburon

They're about the same price as king.

But Bilstein is a throw away, so spending 25% more now, will be cheaper if I service them every 50k miles instead of throwing them all in the scrap bin...

They both have options for $2-4k also. Not trying to turn my tow pig into a trophy truck though.

 

[AgitatedPancake]

Cool post, how interesting. Can’t wait to see more fine details of what’s going on with the adjusters in the res. Should bump the shock theory thread as we find out more about ‘em.

Ryan did some tuning on a WJ I built out at KoH, he was great to work with and very knowledgable. Gives me high hopes that these turn out great

 

[2big bronco]

Hmm... might have to make some xalls and see what it would take to get a pair of these for the rear with as much of the extra bs eliminated as possible. Currently on the broncos the shocks hang at least 4" below the bottom of the axle tube with no real way to raise them easily

Is this sarcasm or truth?

Daniel Sach (Owner of Carbon) was a big pitchman for FOA, not working for them, but a big pushing dealer.
I will still say FOA is not that bad for the price, you have to QA an FOA and do the finish machining.

These Ride shocks, I don't understand his clicker setup, why it is so different than others, but they are some smart people there, if I needed some vehicle specific shocks, I would buy from Accutune.
Speaking of, how come we never get rebound clickers?

How do rebound clickers work?

A rebound clicker needs to be done through the piston rod to be effective. If you put it on the reservoir, it does not work well because it just pulls vacuum on the piston.

Unfortunately gun drilling piston rods is expensive as heck, especially when they are very long. You can buy a mill run of material with a hole in the center, but you really have to watch your concentricity.

Dobinsons have rebound clickers.

There has been a bunch of new shock technology released to the SxS world lately.....

We now have NOST pump adjusters:

And these shocks made by the same company:
