Do HAL SHOCKS work for Road Racing?

How about Hal Shocks AND Hal SPRINGS together, do they work well for handling, or are they more just for Drag Racing?

Thanks!

Do they have a nice ride to them or are they kind of harsh for street driving?

I've 'heard' good stuff about them but I'll let someone who has tried them on the track give a better overall opinion of them.

Hal springs are for drag racing only.. really boucy and soft, the shocks seemed to be good for double duty.

So the Hal springs will suck on the street???

Anyone have the Hal Shocks with the Hal springs on their daily driver?

When you guys with the hals state bouncy and soft, this is pertains to when the setting is at a 12?

I've ridden in a z without a front sway bar with hals and it felt really tight!

My friend Kevin has them on his Firehawk, and is faster on the road course than any of the rest of our group. The rest of us have Koni's or Bilstein's. Kevin also has more hp than most of our group (55 more than I), and 315's all the way around, which helps, but the Hals' don't seem to be a limitation.
