    This is hands down one of the best Ride tech installs on a Tri 5 Ive found, Im watching it for the 2nd time)), you guys are fun to watch and Im shocked why you havnt got more subscribers, so more power to you and hope you get tons more Subs! Im considering the same Ride Tech kit to install on my 57 Hardtop which Im currently starting on my channel, and from what your saying it seems well worth it. Great video, keep them coming guys !

      @@scottmartinetti4875 Choptank area. My fathers cousin used to live down the neck, make a right at the VFD and head to the waterfront. Long lots from the road to the shore but not very wide. It was back when you could take a boat out in the waters there and dip a bushel of crabs. Gone is that ability. I hope not but the prices must be reflecting supply.

    Beautiful! Sweet kit and the motor sounds nasty. Bags vs coil overs?

    • @MaffettMotorwerks
      @MaffettMotorwerks  Před 2 lety

      Thanks for the comment! WE have installed both bags and coilover from ridetech. The Coilovers are defenitley a better overall ride qulaity. But the benefit of the bags is that you can adjust the comfort and the responsivness with a touch of a button. With the coilovers you have to put the car on a lift and change the position of things.

    Hey guys I have a 55 and I'm getting ready to put a ridetech system on it. Do you think shockwaves would be a better buy for quick adjustments on the go rather than the coilover?

    • @MaffettMotorwerks
      @MaffettMotorwerks  Před 2 lety

      Shockwaves are definitely an easier and quicker adjustment on the fly. If you don’t have the ability or the care to get under the car with an Allen wrench and a spanner wrench every time you wanna adjust the ride height, then shockwaves may be better. But the coil over has a dial, (+-) on each coilover to adjust the stiffness of each shock pretty easily with no tools. But if you need to do ride height adjustments it requires tools. These adjustments are really big changes, and may be just enough for what you are looking for.

      Hey rob, they were from Ridetech also. Give a cool look and updated from factory.

    Do you like this set up better than the street grip package? Im not hitting the race track but want a smooth ride for sure. What kind of tires are you rolling on? I have a 57chevy bel air 2dr hardtop sitting on 20x8.5 rear and 18x8 front

    • @MaffettMotorwerks
      @MaffettMotorwerks  Před 2 lety +1

      This kit is far superior to the street grip, and the ability to customize the ride quality and ride height really is the benefit here. The street grip is really a great kit for the money but is really static and you have one drivability setting, which is way better than factory but not customizable or tunable.
