[DeTomaso] Aldan shocks help!

[Ken Green]

Mike,
 
     The 755s are compression, rebound, and height adjsutable.  The 800 series are compression adjustable only and the 600 series are rebound adjustable only.  The 655 is just slightly shorter than the 755, I assume to make room for the rebound adjustment.  The 658 uses a 12 inch spring and overlaps the range of the 755 (a little more on the long end). 
 
    What would be great to know is what ride height range results from different spring weights in the front and rear, especially with heavier springs which may limit the ability to lower the car.

I have the 755's which you'll have to ask the rep how they compare.  One of
my goals with the Aldans was to lower the car to the proper ride height.
These worked fine.

Folks,
The guy at Aldan wasnt sure if I should get their 658HP or 655HP
shock--Wants me to measure original shock on car.  This is for a rebound
adjustable shock with poly bushings $400 a set.  Any suggestions on which
one I should get?  I understand ride height is the difference.  My car is
stock 1972 with original front shocks, not a race car!. 
Thanks in advance for your advice.
