If your looking for a good all-around shock, then I believe that HAL is probably one of the best out there.

Hals are the best, especially for price. Koni adjustables are comperable but you'll pay out the *** for all 4. Close to $1K Hals you can get the front springs (4shocks too) for $700....

Check

thunderracing.com

Some other vendors carry them but TR has the best pricing as far as I know. Great shocks IMO...

You can even use the shocks for looks. They will drop the front 2 1/2" easy. The back is another story. You get the point. Now get the shocks <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

I HAVE HALS AND THEY ARE OK, BUT WOULD BE 2 TIMES BETTER IF DOUBLE ADJUSTABLE, THE SOFTEST SETTING IS GOOD FOR DRAG BUT IT REALLY FLOATS CAUSE IS LIKE A 10/10 RATIO, IF YOU HAVE CASH SPEND IT ON THE KONI DOUBLE ADJUSTABLE, THERE THE BEST ONE I KNOW OF

I have had the Hals for about 6 months now and the only thing that I regret is the drag spring. I will be putting the stock spring back in soon. The drag spring is just to soft for my liking. Other than that there great.

I've got the Koni DA's on the front and Bilstein HD's on the rear ( as per Sam Strano's recommendations ) with the Eibach Prokit springs . It's a very, very good combination for handling whether it's on a tight under 90 mph road course or a 165 mph open road race. I don't think they'd be a very good setup for the 1/4 mile, but that's not what I'm into .
