Hot Rods American coil over shocks

Discussion in 'The Hokey Ass Message Board' started by 325w, Sep 8, 2021.

  1. Have a set of American coil overs/Alden. They seem to be soft now. Built the car in 1993.
    20 plus thousand miles. They probably need to be replaced? No leaks.

  3. If you do buy another set, pay the extra $20 each for the adjustable versions. If they begin to get soft-ish, you can tweak them firmer as needed.

  4. After 25 years I replaced my coil overs with QA-1, they have adjustable springs and valves that adjust from super soft to super hard, these were not around when I built the sedan but they work great and extremely easy to slip under the car and turn the valves s get instant results. HRP

    Aldan will rebuild them. The price is very reasonable. I had a pair rebuilt last year. Quick turnaround time. Visit their website.

    I have QA1’s on my 40, love em. But if they need rebuilt you send them to individuals around the country, not to QA1 and pay for it. If you have Ride Tech, no charge.
