Default Anyone running HAL Coil-overs on thier F-body?

So I scored a set of these a while back - coil-over fronts and just the shocks for the rear.

Since I have a completely Tubular front end (K-member, upper and lower a-arms) and the front is a little lighter, it sits a little higher than I'd like.

I'll be removing Sportlines/Bilsteins in place of these.

For those of you that have them, how do you like them for a DD?

NIght And day difference from an OEM style set-up?

Thanks.

It's a night and day difference. Not what I'd want for a daily driver tho. If you want better road handling charecteristics I'd go Koni. Qa1s are for drag racing/street cars. They ride a little bouncy.

i have them, yes, they have better weight transfer when you dial down them down to one or two clicks. And yes, they do ride bouncy unless I dial them up to 11 or 12 clicks and then they are pretty rough. But I live with them because they do give great launches at the track and I also street drive them a lot.
