[DeTomaso] Aldan shocks help!

[Mike Thomas]

Can't use the stock springs with Aldan shocks, they take a smaller diameter
spring (I am almost positive).  Don't have my old springs to compare them
to.

Do you plan to lower the car at all?

Are you going to continue to use the stock springs?

This is kind of complicated in that if you want to lower the car the long
shocks will not allow you to, or if you buy coilovers you will have to
compress  them down, thus increasing your spring rate

If you plan to use the stock springs then you will want shocks with the same
working length range as the stock ones.
