So higher is tighter and lower is loose?
I thought it would bounce more if it was more loose?

Hey my buddies used to call me FOREST GIMP.I had a motorcycle accident and was in a wheelchair for 2 yrs followed by crutches for 5 more years <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" />

JS,

How are you doing?

I ran my Hals at 5 on the front and 2 on the rear. I keep this setting on the street also. With these setting I cut 60fts anywhere from 1.54 to 1.57. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_tounge.gif" />

I hope this helps you out. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />

JS, I ride around on the street with the HALs set at 5 all the way around. Any higher, the car would ride like a tank. Any lower, the car would scrape when there was a dip in the road.

If you go up it will be less bouncy. It would be like Jason said, "It would ride like a tank" <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

LOL, I put the HALs on 12 all the way around one day just to see how rough it would be. I drove about a mile and pulled over to lower them. DAMN, it was rough. You feel EVERY bump. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

I've got mine set on 8 on all 4 corners for ground clearance for the FLp's because the car is lowered. Reminds me of riding in a Vette, LOL.
