A few HAL shock/spring questions 1. Really, how important are rear drag shocks? I'm gonna go with the HAL fronts, but do I need the rears? Could I go with a cheaper adjustable rear shock like the Bilsteins or something? It seems like all you really need is something thats a bit stiffer than stock but still adjustable.
2. People say driving on the street w/ the HAL front drag springs isn't fun because the ride is very bouncy, but can't this be counteracted by setting the shocks to a higher setting? Yeah I would expect a 1 or 2 setting to bounce like crazy, but what about a 5+?
3. Would you even recommend the HAL front springs? Is there really any advantage over the stockers?
Thanks

def to the front springs with the hals. i have no complaints with mine on the street but then again my car rides like a dump truck anyway with full drag suspension.
rears are important, yes..everything must work together to optimize your 60 foot. if you are tight for cash at least pick up a set of 3 way comp rears..they are butt cheap.

The fronts ride fine with the Hal springs as long as you set them at 6-7 around town. I would go ahead and just get the whole set. You will be adjusting them more than you thing and getting a cheaper shock with less adjustability only limits your ride quality....
