Default Would anyone here recommend Hal's?

Would anyone recommend Hal shocks in the front? I only visit the dragstrip maybe 5-10 times a year but Ive heard many good things about them on and off the strip.

Any comments or experience with them?

I don't really like them that much on the street. Too jouncy. They're not terrible on the street but they're not as nice as the stockers. However, they do work well for the track and are still livable for the street.

Afcos, while being very expensive, ride great on the street and offer both compression and rebound adjustments.

I don't remember the price right off. Check with Billingsley Racing. They're a sponsor here so they have a banner to the right of your screen.
