Hal install complete Well I final 
ly finished and am happy with the difference.Only trouble I had was with the sway bar end links.The bolt had seized in the spacer and I had to use a small hack saw to cut them out.Pounding on the bolt top did nothing.Another pain was going back and forth trying to get the front ride height where I wanted it.Basically even.I left the plastic dust covers off because they looked like they would crunch against the adjustable spring perch at the height I had it set.Shouldn't be a problem has this is a sunny day car. (1998 27k miles). The back dust covers won't fit over the Hal shock body either.Also not unlike a dummy I installed the LF shock with the valve **** on the inside.This will make it a little harder to reach but other than that... Has far has the rears,I had to buy 3" grade 8 bolts,nuts and washers has my kit did not have these.Funny because these cost me exactly $10 and that's what they sell for at our sponsers site.Anyway I'm happy not to be crawling on the garage floor anymore and the O'lady is happy I'm not spraying anti-seize lubricant all over the place anymore.
