[TPR] Shocks

[Asa Jay Laughton]

Hey all,

I recently got a nice promotion at work, which means I can start  
saving for car parts again.  First on my list and probably not able to  
purchase until October, is a new set of coilover shocks.  The  
following are what I know about:

Koni
QA1
Aldan
Telecar

Well, we all know what I think of Telecar by now so I won't even  
consider those.  I've heard some stories about Aldans leaking pretty  
soon after rebuild, but they -are- rebuildable.  Same with QA1 and Koni.

So my question to you, the knowledgeable Pantera racer, is:

- What shock do you run?
- What kind of experience do you have with them?
- What kind of racing are they suitable for?
- What kind of adjustments?
- Did you buy them new?
- Have they needed rebuilding?
- What has been your customer service experience?
- What about mounting? (bushings available or not, custom machining, etc.)

I'm personally leaning toward the Koni's mostly because I can get them  
all set up and ready to install from Pantera Performance Center, but I  
also know Julian has had a lot of good things to say about QA1, and  
Dennis has had a lot of good things to say about his Aldans.

Let the collective braintrust begin the discussion.
