I picked up a set of Hall shocks, pre-owned but basically unused. These are the Aldan bodies with Hall Pantera stamped 4.5” ID springs. The two pairs are different as follows;
1 pair extended length 15.5”; compressed length 12.5”: Springs; Orange 10” length, 0.588” wire size.
1 pair extended length 14.5”; compressed length 11.5”: Springs; Black 10” length, 0.688” wire size.
On researching past posts here on the forum, I installed my original rubber spring seats and installed the front pair today assuming the orange lighter spring (although longer?) set are meant for the front. Based upon a previous post I installed them upside down so the height adjuster ring and dampener valve set are actually accessible. But I was surprised how high the car sits even at the lowest thread I can go (where the spring have basically zero preload). Admittedly it is slightly lower than the stock shocks were previously, but I was hoping for a still lower front stance, there is certainly room to go lower looking at the tire to fender gap.
Is anyone on this forum running these shocks and if so how have you found them for ride height adjustment, handling and performance?
Does anyone also know the spring ratings that Hall sold them with? Aldan’s go by color code but don’t have any orange or black listed on their site and the springs have a Hall Pantera motif.
Thanks
Julian
