Re: are these a waste of money?

dude, those are hal front drag springs...the reason they dont make the rears is because the rears are not coilovers. the front shocks made by hal have a smaller spring perch designed for their springs only.

by the way, if you bought them at this site you got your *** handed to you...they are 50 a piece at tbyrne. you should stick with the site vendors, they rock and usually have the best deals for members, or can hook us up at least

If you want "drag" springs for all 4 corners, and you aren't running the QA1/HAL shocks, you should look at the Eibach "Drag Launch" spinrgs.

Only the QA1/HAL's require a different diameter spring (or an adapter lower spring seat). The Bilsteins need a spring with the stock diameter, e.g. the Eibachs.
