Default Experience with HAL adjustable shocks ??

I am looking for advice on HAL shocks for my non DD street/autocross Vette. I think it would be nice to really stiffen it up for those Sunday parking lot drives. Any thoughts?

see5,

They are great adjustable shocks.

We have a set that we just took off our car and they have about 100 miles on them.

They are available if you are interested in them.

First person that calls in for them gets them.

$500.00 shipped!

Go with Koni's if you want to roadrace or autocross.

I have checked my two front shocks against each other and setting 3 on one feels the same as setting 5 on the other...WTF :nono:
I'm not sure I would buy another set.

I finally got fed up with mine and swapped them for Bilsteins this weekend. I think I will look at the Konis if I find I can't live w/o adjustability. I don't get to the drag strip enough anymore so it was a pretty easy call. Only way I'd buy another set is with some custom valving in a coil over configuration.

Kurt remeber you said you'd ship me those to a test when you took them out?

Did you sell them?

I have not sold them and haven't completely given up on them. I hadn't forgotten your interest... Let me think on it a few days. Even if I decide I want to keep them I can loan them to you for a test if you like. :)
