I pretty much am looking for a cheap alternative to Hal 12 way adjustable shocks. It will strictly be just a drag race shock, it will always be set loose. Anybody running the KYB's? What do you think of them? Thanks!

I set mine full soft for the track, not the best drag shock but works well all around.

I Have mine set soft up front and hard in the rear no tire spin and I am running in the 10.7's

First of all there is no "soft" setting with KYBs. 1 is equivalent to your OEM shock ... then it gets progressively stiffer from there. This is per KYB's tech support.

So for the rear, where you want to go stiff anyway, personally I feel they are better value than the HALs.

As for the front, since that is where you need to go soft, they would probably be no more effective as a drag shock than your stock shocks.

I run KYBs in the rear set to 8 on the passenger side and 5 on the driver side. Presently up front I am running stock shocks, but will be going to to HALs on stock springs - the HAL springs would be better, but I'm trying to maintain as much road handling capabilty as I can.

Good Luck

Cool, that is exactly what I wanted to know. I won't be getting KYB's then... I already have C.E adjustable shocks for the rear, but they are set loose, so that might be hurting me..
