Bilstein vs Hal shocks Sorry, i know shock questions have been covered over and over. My car has the optional Bilstein sport susp. and i really like it but it does not launch very well at the drag strip. I would like a set of Hals for the strip. I do not want to upset the handling of the car. Are hals comparable to what i have now? for handling, not drag strip.

Re: Bilstein vs Hal shocks I have the Bilsteins as well, I don't think the Hals will work as well as the bilsteins for road racing, but for the drag strip the HAL's would work a lot better.. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Re: Bilstein vs Hal shocks The Hals are actually 12-way adjustable so you can set them as loose/tight as you'd like.
You can also adjust ride height.
I believe they're BETTER for handling not only in a straight line application, but for turns as well.
