[DeTomaso] Aldan Eagle Shocks

[Mike Thomas]

Scott
 
I am strictly road driver, and the 350/550 combination I have is just right
for that with the jounce and rebound set at 9 and 2.
 
Some of the Silver Staters may want to chime in though (Dawg?) that
something stiffer would be needed for the high speeds.  Now, the beauty of
the Aldans is that you can buy alternate sets of springs for not a lot of
additional money.   Use the 350/550 when your not on the track or tearing up
the desert, and then have a firmer set to swap out for track time.
 
Guys, your thoughts?

Mike, I went back to your post last October about your Aldan Eagle shocks.
I'm ready to buy a set and plan to go with the double adjustable versions. I
primarily enjoy the car around town, but just completed a full engine/ZF
rebuild with full roller valvetrain with a medium cam with the goal of
making something north of 400/ plus a taller 5th gear all with the goal of
hitting 165 at SilverState events. I'd like to be able to enjoy the car
around town, but still keep it on the road and out of the desert in Nevada.
The 758HP (Hall Pantera??) comes with 12" springs, and 12" springs only come
in 350/500/550/600/650/700, but no 400 or 450. Based on your reply to Will
Demelo's post, I assume you've got the 350/550 combination??? Any more
thoughts about spring rates based on your experience? Scott
