ALS seals longevity?
 
I'm having a rebuild done and have read a ton on the ALS seals, but most experiences are with heavily modded setups (and those threads are a few years old). Only hp mods I have are dp, intake, exhaust. From what I gather ALS or OEM would be my best options. Its strictly a street car and not planning any major hp mods. Is the consensus still that ALS is top notch? I've read a few saying OEM is best for longevity. Appreciate any tips/experiences

als seals are good but oem are the best, as far as quality and longevity.

Longevity wise , what is better ? goopy or ALS?

What you to keep in mind is, with soft seals less wear on the housings & hard seals more wear on the housings. So it's on you on what you want to replace sooner, housings or seals!

I rather replace seals then housings ... seals can be made . good housings are Very hard to find .

Thanks for the input guys. I ended up going oem. Even the manufacturer of ALS seals agreed, oem for longevity
