What setting do you use for Hal's on the street?

I just installed mine. I have the Hal drag springs (275 lb) up front and eibach prokit springs in the rear. I currently have all four shocks set on the 6 setting, but the car bounces like it has hydraulics. What do you have yours set on for the front....and rear?

Thanks

Re: What setting do you use for Hal's on the street?

I had the Pro-Kit springs on all 4 corners, with the QA1/HAL shocks, and I hated the "ride"..... it bucked and "chopped" like an S10 pickup slammed on the axle. If I backed off and softened the shocks in the rear, some of the "chop" went away, but then the back end became too loose. I eventually ditched the Pro-Kits, because there was no adjustment that would make them compatible with the QA1/HAL shocks.

Currently running Eibach Drag Launch in the rear, QA1 springs in the front, and with the front shocks on 6 or 7, and the rear shocks on 5 or 6, it seems to produce a firm, but controlled ride.

I have the 300 lb QA1 springs in the front and the shocks set at 6 for the street. Feels good to me.
