Re: Adjustable Hals....simply delightful! (jschindler)

Let me clear some things up...I do most of my work myself on my car..and I can switch a set of shocks in 1 hour (thats start to finish). I took measurements (all measurements taken after suspension has settled) of my car with the Bilsteins on and then again with the Hals (maybe the Bilsteins have a longer shock rod then the Hals). I have the Hals on a street setting..if I adjust them to a track setting the valving changes and they become very hard to compress..it might not change the ride height at all...but what I can tell you for sure is that with the Hal shocks on..my car sits lower than when I had the Bilsteins on...this is a fact no illusion..so you non Hal owners can take my word for it.

Pretty simple, really-

Compress the stock shocks, they rebound back to the fully extended position. Compress the HALs and they stay there. No moving, nothing. They just sit there.

The stock shocks force the car to ride higher because of this. The HAL's just let the car sit under the compression of the spring. Mine dropped about 1/2".
