What to get first? Would it be better off buying a set of front hals or a set of rear hals?
To me the rears would seam to be the ones to get first. I see alot of people putting just the fronts on though.

Re: What to get first? i think it depends on your track. well preped tracks (to my knowedge) allow you to not have to squat that much, therefore setting your Hals to near stock settings. so front shocks would be first..for the weight transfer it allows. now, on a shitty track, i see the need to make it a little softer back there so i could see doing the rears first as you said.
Re: What to get first? Buy Comps for the rear.They are 3 way adjustable.Set them on a loose setting if u run a tq arm longer than 45 inches.
Other wise run them one click tighter with some of the shorter aftermarket arms...
Fronts are more important along with a good adj rear sway bar....

Re: What to get first? Same as Ryan suggested. Fronts first with Hal drag springs and if budget permits rear Hal shocks. This total package allows to find tune your car at the track or different tracks as the need occurs. Good luck.

Re: What to get first? Hals in front, because you can lower ride hieght, then cut your rear springs for a more agressive stance. leave the rear stock, there is no need to change it yet.

Re: What to get first? My ride hieght is low as it is with the Hotchkis springs and the iron block.
As for the rear. I made my own sway bar just like wolfes. Also it looks like the right rear airbag along with the swaybar helped about 200%.
Thanks for the help.
