From here out, I will bite the bullet and never go back. Just chalk it up to a baseline 'cost'.

As soon as I pulled out on the road I felt the difference. There are a number of speed bumps in our neighborhood so it's a good place to test. I should know by now that you generally get what you pay for.

It’s okay to tell us, we won’t say anything to your wife.

They were a little under a grand for the set with the sale Jegs had over the holiday. My wife and I have a reciprocal "don't ask, don't tell" policy on car parts and home decor. The problem I have now is that my son doesn't understand how it works. When we got his Ventura I tried to explain the rules, but he blabbed to her about what we actually bought the car vs. what I inferred it cost - in addition to what I spent on all the parts for it so far. He has much to learn.

Ridetechs are rebuildable and they offer a rebuild kit - at least according to their FAQ.

Call me skeptical, but once companies figure out they can get more money out of us, I doubt they're going back.
