I guess it would depend on the price....previous Hal GP's really weren't impressive. A $750-$800 price point does seem to move thes things off the shelfs. I think a GP could do well if a sub $700 price is at all possible. JM2Pennies

What is adjustable? Rebound only? How does the degree of adjustability fit with various stock shocks? By which I mean for example, the HALs provide xx% more dampening at max setting than base stock shocks and xx% less than stock at minimum. How would a set of Bilstein Sports slot into the adjustment available, etc.?

I'd think many would like such data so that they could get a realistic idea of what they may be buying.

Thanks, in advance.

:cheers:

I don't rememeber the exact numbers but I run HAL QA1 12 ways on my Lightning road race truck. setting 1 floats like a butterfly almost no shock affect at all, and 12 rides past dump truck stiff. On the street I use 7-9 up front 10 on track, rear is 5-7 on the street 7-8 on track. Absolutely love them :yesnod: :seeya

RCswish: Hal's prices went up as of 3/1 so those prices may have been at the old price structure. If not they were losing money. Our GP price for 10 or more orders is $879.99 for a set of four. This GP will be listed on our site tomorrow and will be running until Wednesday, November 13th.

Tom, your right...I do remember another vendor saying the price from Hal was going up. Sorry about that.
