I have seen mixxed reviews (They make dune buggy shocks and leak some times)

As long as they don't leak in the 1st 50 miles, you are good. they don't use a C clip on the adjuster knobs so they sometimes blow out when pressure is first applied. I love them, but others aren't huge fans.

cheaper than motons or penske...

what does turning the knob do? lower it and raise it???

 

[Joseph Dell]

knob is for stiffness. the adjustment for height is done w/ the shocks on the car with those round adjustment thinggys that are standard for adjustable shocks.

Anyone have any new information on these? Were the problems fixed?

I noticed that there is one know with even numbers and the other has odd numbers on them. Where should these be set for a street/ strip car? I have looked on the Aldan website, but I can't figure it out.

Thanks!!

No problems here with over 1000 mi on them.

There have been far more negative/problem posts than positive feedback. I dont recall seeing any newer posts or indication that they have made any changes to address the issues with leaking.

I have them on my Gen1. They seem to work pretty well. Adjusting the ride height is a bit of a pain. It's very problematic to do with the shocks on the car. It's easy to take them on and off, however, so you can adjust the height off the car. If you're only going ot do it once, not a problem.
