About PRT – Performance Ride Technology
PRT, short for Performance Ride Technology, is a globally recognized manufacturer of ride control and suspension products headquartered in Buford, Georgia. Founded in 1994, PRT shares its heritage with one of the largest shock and strut manufacturers in the world, bringing more than 30 years of engineering expertise to both original equipment (OE) and aftermarket customers across more than 135 countries.
At the core of PRT's mission is a simple but powerful idea: deliver OE-quality suspension components at competitive price points, without compromise. Their state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities produce upwards of 4 million products per month, reflecting a scale of operation that few aftermarket brands can match. With a catalog of over 10,000 product types — including more than 5,000 SKUs serving the U.S. market alone — PRT offers some of the most comprehensive coverage available in the ride control segment.
A Heritage Rooted in Ride Control
PRT's strongest suit is its deep specialization in suspension dynamics. The brand's Suspension Strut Assemblies are a flagship offering, engineered as ready-to-install, complete units that simplify the replacement process for both professional technicians and serious DIYers. Rather than sourcing individual components separately, a complete strut assembly from PRT integrates the strut, coil spring, mount, and bearing into a single, pre-assembled unit — reducing labor time and eliminating the need for a spring compressor.
PRT's lineup of Shock Absorbers spans a wide range of passenger cars, light trucks, and SUVs, all developed with the same OE-level standards that have earned the brand certification from original equipment manufacturers worldwide. Whether you're restoring factory ride comfort or maintaining a working truck, PRT shock absorbers are built to restore and sustain proper damping performance over the long haul.
For vehicles that demand precise front-end stability — particularly trucks and SUVs operating on varied terrain — PRT also manufactures Steering Dampers. These components absorb road-induced feedback and vibration through the steering system, helping drivers maintain control and reducing wear on steering components over time.
Rounding out the suspension portfolio, PRT offers Suspension Struts, Shocks, Coil Springs, and Camber Plate Kits — giving customers the flexibility to source individual components or complete kits tailored to specific repair needs. This breadth of coverage reflects PRT's commitment to being a one-stop resource for ride control solutions.
