Post Marauder Mod Disorder
BRG Racing is working with JJ at JRi about ordering a set of JRi coilover shocks. The top of the shock must be modified to work with the stock mount - no loss of shock travel.
Many thanks to Lifespeed for his guidance on making my Marauder suspension the best it can be. Next, Lifespeed will guide replacement of the rear air bag system for a JRi system. I will let him explain the benefits. I just follow the good lead.

I believe Mike separated from his dad in some respects. Their shop used to be in Hayward. Mike now has his main shop in Livermore. My oldest brother went to high school with him. Smart guy. I need to take a trip up north and have a pen and note pad with me

I gotta say, your threads, build approach and parts choices are very unique from the pack.
You will have a truly one of a kind Marauder when completed. I can't wait to see the end product.

Lifespeed is 'lead counsel' for all things suspension.

I received the quote for four JRi coilovers, custom springs and custom made to fit my 2004 Mercury Marauder shock mount. Oh, and the coilovers are programmable via my smartphone.
$8,000.00
That price does not include a kiss nor any other 'special services'. And they only take 12 weeks to be custom made and shipped to me at a modest shipping charge.

Looks like Ridetech or Naake for this guy!

Negative. Neither branch offers the performance and adjustability I require. Also, neither offers wireless adjustments. Only KM and JRi do at present. And KM will not customize the top of the shock to mate with the Marauder mount to maintain shock travel length.
Penske offers an awesome coilover kit that Anze Engineering will customize. This is the setup Lifespeed has on his ride. The cost is less than $4000 vs $8000 from JRi. The big draw back is no wireless adjustments via smartphone. Is that worth $4000?

Lifespeed has me looking into magnetorheological shock absorbers.
Example:

BODY/SUSPENSION/CHASSIS:
Front dampers
Active Gen III magnetorheological coilovers
Rear dampers
Active Gen III magnetorheological coilovers
Thanks Lifespeed - not

Definitely worth the money...but I think the Ridetech setup will offer me everything I want. I don't mind turning,a wrench to adjust my setup for street or track...

GAME OVER, YOU LOSE!
I was wondering about the magnetic shocks. GM is licensing the tech to anyone willing to pay.
