Jeff ~ I have the Alko shocks on the front of my '91 MV, replacing the original factory shocks.They seem to be well made and solid. I would describe the ride as firm and controlled. They are certainly not "harsh". Crosswind handling is much improved. I plan to mount some on the rear when the snow melts around here ( sometime in June:-). Best of luck in your quest. -- John Meeks Vanagon Rescue Squad http://www.vanagonauts.com/Vanagon_Rescue_Squad74.htm '91 Multivan Top o' Northern Michigan KC8ZFN |
