Re: Two months of hot sweaty weekends & car is done. Finally snapped some p

I was going to pick up some aldan's, tell me more before I do.
They look good that is for sure, and the fitment is even better than the stock shocks (I did change so that I have 9" springs all around - that put all four spring perches right about in the middle of the adjustment so if you want to dump it, this would allow for about an inch less height than I am running). I wanted a few things and the Aldans were a good value to get them given I have a street-only car: softer springs, adjustable ride height, externally adjustable damping. Mission accomplished so far, but I will admit the damping adjustments do not have a huge difference and it seems to me I would not have enough damping on the rear if I had stiffer springs. Seems fine for my soft 500 pounders, but 650s??? It is still hot here so I have not done much driving. I see people all over the Gen III board talking bad about the Aldans, but not much for hard data other than some isolated comprehensive failures. My car is just for pimping and 0-100 mph runs so I bet they will be fine for me.

Thanks for the reply, I would want the ability to dump it. So what your saying is they can bring the car down 1 1/2"'s total from stock, or 1/2" lower then eibach's?? Thanks for your help.

That is about right if you use a 9" spring up front rather than the usual 10". You should be able to get the front wheel arch less than 14" from the hub centerline up front. Have no idea WHY you would want to do that, but you could.
