[DeTomaso] shock isolators

[Doug Braun]

Matt,

	Are you sure your shop isn't referring to the smaller rubber donut that
goes around the shock's piston shaft to soften a full bottoming event?  Are
your shocks missing these bumpers?

I called Aldan.  They said none of their shocks come with such a thing.
Shop says that without them, when
I hit a big bump or something, the springs could bang around, and that they
already see evidence of this
happening before, nicking the threading.

Maybe just call Aldan (http://www.aldaneagle.com/) and ask them?

  I thought the "isolators" on the original shocks were really spacers to
raise the car?

  What are people's feelings about the necessity of having isolators for the
coil springs in the shocks? I don't have any on my Hall Aldan setup, and my
local shop calls them "missing", says it's not good. But Hall wants $200 for
them--ouch. And no, I don't have old OEM ones. They were trashed.
