Will the HAL shocks work? I bought some springs a while back, never got around to puting them on. I think they are LG's G2 springs, but I don't remember (I know that makes me sound like an idiot, I guess). From what I do remember, I believe they said they were supposed to lower the car somewhere between 1 - 1.5 inches.
Anyway, I was just wondering if the HAL shocks would work well with these springs (or any of the lowering springs out there)? Since I have the springs, I don't want to buy the ones that you can get with the HALs, unless those are the only ones that work with the HALs.
Thanks!

Re: Will the HAL shocks work? Are there any fitting problems or issues if I use the G2 springs instead of the ones that you can get with the HALs? Do I need to get a different seat or something?
Thanks again!
Thanks again!
Re: Will the HAL shocks work? In front you need the stock spring collars for either aftermarket springs or stock springs... Hal front springs do not need the collars. You did not ask but the front hals will lower the car but they have a bouncy ride that I don't care for (I have them).
Rear does not matter.

Bouncy usually means underdamped. I can't comment on the normal calibrations, as I had my HALs tuned firmer before they were shipped to me, but mine easily handle my 428# front springs.
