Hal shocks anyone using them?
I used these on another car and they worked pretty well except for the fronts wanting to leak.
Anyone using them for the drag strip?
Thanks

I installed them for the strip and they cured my wheelhop problem.

I installed all 4 and have used 26x11.5 E.T. streets and 28x10 Hoosiers.

I made a custom set of coilovers with QA1s and work like a champ.

Thanks Guys
Face,
I'm just curious had you tried anything else to stop the wheel hop before the Hals and what settings do you run them at?
I just got a CCW drag set up and I'm trying to get the other stuff figured out.
Thanks
Tom

At first I thought my 26x10.5 E.T. streets weren't grabbing enough and causing the wheelhop. Then I went to the 28x10 Hoosiers and I still had the same problem. Then I installed the QA1's and it went away. IIRC, I ran 2 up front and 8 in the rear last time out.

Only the long side since I have a A4. If I had a MN6/12 I would have done both.
