[DeTomaso] Shock recomendations

[Ian H]

Is the ride hieght of the Aldans adjustable to be the same as stock hieght 
(w/o spacers)?  15.4" seems a bit short too me.  I think I remember the 
Konis being 16 or 16.5" before I pulled the springs.  I really can't go too 
low because the roads are pretty bad around these parts at times.  Also, I 
am running stock 8 & 10" Campy's, if that makes a difference.

Ian
