Always good to have options, but hasn't this been solved by the vendors? Do
you think you can come up with a cheaper and better option? I would think
it is
a lot of work to get the right dimensions/specs - can Viking take an Alden
and
provide a plug-in replacement?
I'm getting close to swapping out my Aldens, I've never had a problem in the
10 plus years but I don't put many miles on my car. I'll probably be
looking at
something more similar to stock spring rates and standard shocks, I doubt
I'll
do any more track days with my car. I've heard good things about Carerras
from Wilkinson and Konis (from Quella?).
