I absolutely love the ride of Koni shocks, they are well dampened but never harsh.

BRAND: Aldan
MODEL#: AS755-400(F) & AS755-600(R)-Aluminum
Body
LBS.front: Aldan- 400#
LBS.rear: Aldan- 600#
Comments: Double adjustable,all shocks set on softest settings. Replaced OEM shocks & springs & ended up after installation with lower control arms being parallel to ground instead of angled - no "bottoming out" noted so far. Comfortable ride on the street - maybe a bit harsher than OEM setup but hardly noticeable. Haven't made it to the local track since installation in Dec.'06 but hope to make it at least once this Fall for a good thrashing.

ANYONE ELSE??? COME ON GUYS, TELL US WHAT SHOCKS YOU'RE USING. THANKS!!!

COMMENTS:

This set up saves a total of 36lbs in weight over OEM units. I am very happy with the shocks. The first thing I noticed was an improvement in braking, I used to lock the front wheels under hard braking, but now I can brake a lot harder before lock up. I suppose the gas shocks are responding quicker, and keeping the tyre in contact with the road.

I am not happy with the spring rates though. The rear is quite a bit softer than the OEM springs that came off. I am getting more body roll as a result. Fortunately the springs are the cheap bit. I intend to try a 600 or maybe a 650 on the rear after reading Garth's comments on body roll. Not sure about the front yet, I may leave that alone.

Thanks Johnny,

I checked today and the KONI's they say are made to order 300.00 each.

Where do I buy the springs ?? HYPERCO

Thanks ROn

Hi Ron,

I bought the springs and shocks from Dennis Quella. I worked a deal with some tail lights, but I think he charges Approx $1600
