Default hal shock questions

Can you use your stock springs or aftermarket lowering springs with the hal shocks? I think i rember hearing you had to open up the bottom of the springs some to get the front hal shocks to fit, is this true?

you can use any spring. but if you use a syock style spring and not the HAL spring you have to cut the bottom pearch off a stock shock and put on the front HAL so it will have something to sit on.

Did it myself this past weekend with Eibachs.

Is this difficult to do? How long does it take?

Not difficult, but it is somewhat time consuming. Took me about 2 hours per side to install the front shocks.

Here is a link that I found that explains the installation of the shocks and modification of the stock perches.
