Does anyone know the specific differences between the Kore Race suspension and the DRC Race suspension? I looked at both sites, and aside from Kore using Fox shocks and DRC using Bilsteins, I can't tell what the other differences are. Does anyone know?

 

I believe they are the same thing, There are 3 or 4 different shock choices with Kore and Bilsteins are the lower end ones. (I think, could be wrong though)

 

I would think they're the same as well. However, when looking at the DRC site, the race system is labelled at one that not even Kore sells. That's what piqued my interest as to what the differences are.

 

The suspensions that DRC sells are Kore systems.

 

From what I have read on the website the Kore race has 2.5 inch fox shox and the DRC race uses bilstien 7100's up front and the piggyback 5150 on the rear. That is the only difference that I can tell. That does not sound like a lot, but the fox are way superior shocks, in my opinion!!

According to the DRC site, it looks like DRC is also adding in some extras that KORE does not include by default (I believe). Like the steering stabilizer, drop blocks and limit straps.

 

I'm aware that DRC uses the Kore suspension, but there is something about the two kits that is a bit different. I'm just trying to get clarification as to what those differences are.

That's what I see as well, but I also was wondering if they Kore Race systems comes with all of the other goodies that they make (i.e. swaybar drop blocks, limiting straps, etc.). I would probably go with the Fox shocks as well. I gotta get my dang truck paid off so I can get one of these kits on the way.

 

They are the same. Check out their price lists.

I just purchased the Kore Chase System for my 05 2500. My $.02

 

The Kore race system and the DRC race system are different kits. DRC will sell you a Kore race system or a DRC race system. The main differences are that the DRC system uses a Bilstein 9000 series remote reservoir shock up front with their "magic valving" and uses a Bilstein 5150 piggyback reservoir shock in the rear whereas the Kore race system uses Fox remote reservoir shocks all the way around. The rest of the components are the same. The Kore kits now come complete with all the extras the DRC kit shows (drop blocks, limit straps, etc...) The KORE and DRC websites may not show some of the changes that have recently gone into effect on some of these parts now supplied in the KORE kits. I believe that the steering stabilizer is still optional in the Kore kits but is supplied in the DRC race kit. Give Greg a call @ DRC and he will be happy to tell you all about the systems.

One change I noticed for KORE is the price is higher. I know the "RACE" system was 3500 dollars a couple of months ago and is now over 4100 dollars.

DANG......that is a mod I want and they are going up in price faster than I can save money for one.

 

There was a 10% cost increase and don't forget that Kore now includes some items that were previously options (limit straps, drop blocks, heavy coils, etc...) that are now standard in the kits.

 

That's the info that I was looking for. By checking out both sites, it appeared as though one was getting more from the DRC kit than the Kore kit by the photo shown. I couldn't find a parts list on the Kore site for the kit either. Thanks for the information, I really appreciate it.

 

Yup, shocks are the main difference. I chose the DRC race kit and am very happy with it. I don't think I would have gained anything from the Fox shocks unless I did some serious offroad racing.

 

dsteinke-

Got any pics. of that beast? It sounds pretty sweet from the looks of your sig.

 

Yup. The new ones are on the camera though. I'll get them off tonight and post them somewhere.
