i replaced my shocks/struts when i did my eibach springs and since the shop was closing they had to do the alignment the next day. drove like shiet for that day. i definately recommend the alignment.

Anybody have any other input on the HAL setup? Is it just for drag racing?

I have a complete online procedure for the HAL/Pro-kit install. You are aware, I hope that the Eibach springs will not work with the HAL lower spring seat, and require that you modify your stock lower spring seats?

(That's actuall Rob/Shoebox's photo.... we were both working on the same thing at the same time)

Here's the link to the online writeup, and a couple photos that might help:

A final thought.... in the end, I did not like the HAL/Pro-kit combination. The back of the car suffered from an extremely "choppy", buckboard ride - sort of like a slammed S-10 rolling down a bumpy road. Loosening the shocks to get rid of the "chop" left the back end way too loose. I no longer run the Pro-kits.
