Default Rear Hals vs. Bilsteins

I have a pair of Bilstein shocks in the rear right now. I'm replacing the front struts and springs with Hals (QA1s), and I was wondering if it is worth it to go ahead and get the rear shocks at the same time. Anyone have any opinions on the rear shocks and how they would compare with Bilsteins? Or would something else be more beneficient? Some other ideas I was kicking around:

Replace Suspension Techniques rear bar with a BMR Extreme
Random Tech Torque Arm

Any thoughts?

BTW, I already have G2 LCAs and PHR, RR airbag, BMR relocation brackets. I want to get the 60' more consistent, it ranges from 1.65-1.75 usually. I need new slicks, but I want to wait until the first of the year for those.

The rear hals(QA1s) will help.

I would get Madmans TQ Arm. It ROCKS!

I run 2 in the fronts and 4 in the rears with 1.45 60 fts. :p

Get ya some new slicks in the spring and you should get down to the 1.5 range.

Coach,

What springs are you using in the rear?
