Hal gen F shocks, and BMR springs?

I was looking at the HAL Gen F shocks, and BMR springs.
I think they might be better then the Slp stuff.

and I want the adjustable shocks the most.
I really like palying hard in the corners, but still want a good hook at the track.

I think this with the BMR adjustable PHB with poly bushings, and the bmr LCAs with poly poly (or would poly/rubber be better)

Will make a great combo, and great compromise

plus I think with the adjustable I can "kinda" make the ride softer for long trips?

I"ve heard mixed reviews about the Hal shocks. I recommend if you want adjustable to go with Konis, they are great.

Stay away from AGX, I ran them full stiff and they busted (6 months) quick.
I've had my Konis for 2 years now, and I run them full stiff all the time. Unless I'm at the drag strip.

I got my Konis at tire rack, but I'm sure Sam Straino can hook you up (he's a sponser on here I think) I bought the Single Adjustables. I didn't want he dual adjustables, I didn't want to be that technical.

As for AGX, they are KYB shocks. They are cheap, and cheap they are...

Go to www.stranoparts.com There is a koni/bilstein set up that sam has put together that are award winning. That is the route I am going to go. I've heard the biltein HD's can be "harsh" and the KYB flat out aren't worth the headache. The koni/bilstein setup, after researching, are the way to go...atleast for me.
