Re: Hal shocks/ front springs. which rear springs? maybe take the bumper off the stock spring. i dont know if you will find a better spring combo than the stock and hal up front. i know someone who change the springs and had hals and didnt like the ride. since the rear hal shocks are stiff already, putting a lowering spring on will make it even more stiff and make the ride kind of bouncy. stock seems to be a good spring rate for the shock.

Re: Hal shocks/ front springs. which rear springs? I thought about a regular lowering spring like an Eibach, but isnt it stiffer than stock - intern preventing the car from squatting well while launching <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" /> also the lower the rear is the less room for a big slick (probably will be running a 28" down the road) and the more weight transfer is impaired. Maybe I am looking to far into this <img border="0" alt="[Banging Head]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_banghead.gif" />
All I want to do is <img border="0" alt="[Firebird]" title="" src="graemlins/formula.gif" /> and still be <img border="0" alt="[pimp]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_pimp.gif" /> w/o a big gap above the tire

Re: Hal shocks/ front springs. which rear springs? You cannot lower the car if you plan to run a 28 inch tall slick, I run a 28x10.5x15 in back and could not run lowering springs. I am a bit higher in back than stock.

Re: Hal shocks/ front springs. which rear springs? How are you higher than stock if you have the prokit? </font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> I did a set of rear Eibach prokits and the drop was like an inch and the car felt tighter. </font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">maybe I read it wrong <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />
