Default Hal/Qa1 shocks

I noticed in summit that these shocks are 12 way adjustable,does any one know if they can be used for both drag racing and road racing?

I have them mostly for drag racing. I believe BrianCunningham is using them for autoX.

They are great for the street and set for drag racing the transfer the weight very well.

I've been to serveral tracks with them.
They're great lots of adjustability.
You can actually dial in under/oversteer.

At the autocross I run them at 10
on a road course 8

You really must drive a car with them on to fully understand why I think they are THAT GOOD. :yesnod: :yesnod:

To give youan idea of their effect, the pic in my sig is obviously me launching. I only ran a 12.90 on that run, but the weight transfer is awesome.

I just remembered that if you go to the movie section of my crappy website ( http://www.baloga.com ) you can see 2 crappy runs made with the shocks. The website stinks, the runs stink, but man can those shocks move a lot.
