Another bump for Aldan American coil overs, I have used mine for autoX and street with great success.

Hi All, I'm the OP.

I went with LG G2 (bilstien) coilovers and am very happy with them, FWIW.

We have some pretty respectable penske combinations that have run top 3 in TA3 and won a few NASA championships. If youd like an estimate for something penske, we would be happy to quote it.

Certainly not something you could put on your daily driver, but when you need range in the piston or bleeds from a single or double adjustable, the Penske is top notch.

How does JRZ compare with the rest of the brands listed earlier in this thread?

I have an opportunity to buy a used set for $1250...

Which JRZ's? Motorsport (purple) or Club (blue)?
If club, which one? They have both single tube and twin tube.

The motorsports are awesome but very expensive.

Another big thumbs up for Alden American. Great product and great company. Don't let the low price fool you - well worth a serious consideration.

Someone else jumped on the CL ad before I could. I think they were blue but I wouldn't swear to it.

FWIW, I've been VERY happy with the DA JRZs on my C5. Motorsport in my case.

Realizing the current set are not an option, if you do happen to find another set, I'd definitely recommend them.

Those JRZs were Motorsport 2 ways from a well known racer/AX guy and I grabbed them off ebay! $7500 set of shocks for $1250....wasn't going to let those get away!

Well, crap, I thought they were on CL, which might be why I couldn't find the ad when I realized what I good deal it was.

Congratulations on your purchase.

yeah, I think they were on eBay for less than 4 hours. I did have to buy $600 in spring perches and adjustment ***** but still a bargain. Hope to have them on he car very soon.
