When on the street you should set them a little stiffer. And if you smack the brakes even at low speeds with the shock settings too low, yeah....nosedive. I hit my front air deflector a few times.
But you can't beat the weight transfer. Just a downside to getting out of the hole quicker.

I'm running the R series QA1 shocks and springs set at 1 all the time and havn't had any nose dive or swaying problems on the street..The 90/10 valving of the R shock helps alot with that...

You might try out the stock springs before buying another set. You would just have to enlarge the spring perch hole by about 1/8" to use the stock springs with the hal shocks. I am running the stock springs - the hals are way to soft especially since my car has an additional 60 lb up front due to a turbo kit.
