A word on Alden Eagles;

About 5 to 7 years ago or so Alden shocks got a really bad rap because of bad and leaky seals. A lot of members here and else where jumped ship and went to QA1. Mine too leaked.

Approx. 5 years or so ago I went to Aleden Eagle directly which I can go to during lunch, handed them my shocks years after having them and told them what had happened, the kind of rap they are getting and what is going on.

They completely admitted that at that time they ran into a supplier that was counterfeiting USA seals away from normal specs and these parts had failed - they apologized, took responsibility and fixed all of my shocks for free with new parts in under 24 hours.

So to recap;

- they took responsibility without blame
- they could careless if it is going on a kit car or non OEM applications
- they did not ask for a receipt
- they repaired it under a day for free
- the problem has since been resolved on all their shocks

If you have been working on cars for a while you know you come across problems, things happen. I have had many new parts failed, but few who take care of the issue, everyone wants to give you the run around and as soon as you tell them it's on a replica - forget it.

Good price, can come completely adjustable for rebound and dampening if desired, light and can be chromed. One of the few things still made in the USA and at that time they were the best priced shocks around.

I would not consider buying another brand of shock/spring.
