[QUOTE="josh99ta, post: 378418, member: 545886"] ss3079... The HALs are awesome, I really like the adjustability and it really does work, but if I had it to do all over again, in my situation, it's not worth the money. Good drag racing shocks if money is no factory, the new R front shocks are probably the best. Probably the second best shocks for sports handling to the Koni double adjustables. I really wished I would have tried these shocks with my LG Motorsports springs, something more designed for awesome handling, but I had Bilstein HD shocks on when I had my LGs on the car. I also hear really good things about the Tokicko and KYB adjustable shocks, they are worth looking into if you want adjustability but dont want to drop the coin on HALs. joshpoints...
