[DeTomaso] Aldan Shocks

The double-adjustable refers to the ability to adjust how the shock controls
both jounce (compression) and rebound (extension).  In addition, the Aldan
shocks have threaded collars that allow you to adjust for ride height at
each corner, which is essential if you are to have an alignment done that
includes corner weighting, or you car does not sit exactly level, and you
need to compensate (that was my sitch).

When I was trying to figure out what spring rates to have, the most common
reply I got for mostly street use was a range from 350 front/550 rear to 450
front/650 rear.  I chose the lighter of the range as I wanted a more supple
ride.  If you are still running stock shocks/springs, you will be amazed at
the difference in ride quality.  Since the weight distribution of the
Pantera is somewhere around 40/60 front/rear, you want the heavier springs
in the rear.  Aldan is great to work with in that if you order a set, and
you don't like the spring rates you chose, they will exchange them for
little to no cost save shipping as long as they are still in near-new
condition.
 
Hope that helps.
Mike

Hi Mike. I saw your reply post about the shocks.
Can you explain the details below to me? 
What is the difference between single and double adjustable?  I don't track
my car, but I would like to adjust the height. Can I do this with single
adjustable?
Why are there 2 sets of spring weights in  brackets? What spring rate do you
recommend for the street/rare track event?
Thanks, Will
