Default What setting does everyone run their rear Hals?

I've tried everything from 1-6 clicks and can't find a good spot. 6 seems too stiff and anything lower than 4 is too soft. What a pain...

What's everyone else running and what are ur 60ft times?

I am in the same boat.
It seams that most that 60's well are running between 4 to 6 in the rear and 2 to 4 in the front. There are so many other things to consider (springs, tire psi, pinion angle, TQ arm location, ect.)

I went out last week for only the second time with the new set and run a best of 1.64 with rear 4 and the front 3.

Also, some will say to run the right rear one click tighter.

3 in the front with Hal 275 lb. springs and 5 in the rear. I used to run 1 and 2 in the front, but when I went to the 3, seemed to pick up a few hundreths. On the rear, keep them the same. Install an air bag or anti-roll bar if youre experiencing too much squat.

4 in the rear is usually the sweet spot on my car, with 1 set up front. Really my car seems to hook on anything between 3 and 6 in the rear and 1 and 3 up front. I would say maybe it's time to focus on the torque arm adjustment. I have not had to play with mine yet but I want to. I still think I should be able to pull a 1.49 out of my setup but the best I have got so far is 1.51 at GIR. I am curious if there is a better setting on my torque arm.

BTW, tires I seem to do best with my QTP's set at 16 to 18.

My fronts are dialed in...I run them @ 3 if i go softer it unloads too quickly. 4 in the rears seems to work the best so far.

I thought people ran the rears between 4-6, but I read that along time ago and wanted to double check.

Thanks for the replies

I run my rears at 10 and have cut a best of 1.42 with them like that. I've tried softer settings but it reacts better to the stiffer settings.

Fronts at 2 (am actually going to try setting a little higher to 3 or 4 and see what happens), and rears at 6. Cut a best of 1.47 60' And averaged 1.51's. Hopefully my new rear swaybar and lca relocate brackets along with messin with the front shock settings a little will cut that 60' down, cuz i'm initially hooking and then the rear is unloading and blowin the tires off!

Rears at 10
fronts at 1 with R-series only.


Best of 1.27 60ft when the front tires actually trip the lights instead of the rears tripping the lights. LOL

slickvert-i'm on the stock front springs. my frontend dont bounce around even on the softest setting. it still transfers weight big time. i tried running one side stiffer then the other in the rear,didn't seem to really help.
