I just installed the Hotchkis Sport Spring Kit on my RS. They claim a 1" to 1 1/2" drop, but I saw closer to 2" on my car, which really looks good. I chose the Hotchkis Kit because I was afraid with some of the other 2" drop kits, I would have problems with scrubbing from the huge 335/35/17's on back, but I have yet to make them scrub, and the car has a much more postive feel now. I'm very satisfied.

Looks aggressive! Nice car.

 

Looks good.

 

Looks nice. Wonder what'll happen if/when the springs settle after a couple months... Keep an eye on it and let us know.

 

why no pictures of the drivers side..
you just decide to flip the first pic? lol.

looks good man, but i would want more rake from it, atleast another 1/2"-1" from the front to be down. but otherwise nice.

Looks good. How hard were they to install? Do they stop the creaking sound at all when you go over bumps for instance or should I get sub-frame connectors for that?

Dammit!! I'm caught, the other side was hit be runaway M1 tank, stolen from the local National Guard Armory!!! lol

No, I started taking the pics with my trusty Wal*Mart disposable camera, and when I took the second shot from the side, I started winding back the little thumbwheel and it kept rolling!!! I looked down and saw O exposures. So I flipped the pic to try to show adversity. The other side really is fine. You can go to my site to see REAL driver's side pics, and you can also see how much the springs actually lowered it.

MetallicamaroRS,
They were fairly easy to install. I didn't even have to use a spring compressor(front), and rear's are always easy. The car has polyureathane bushings in all the sway bars, LCA's, Torque Arm, and Panhard Rod, so it creaks a little more than stock anyway, but I didn't notice anymore than before. SFC would help, but I think there's going to always be some noise from our cars, or at least that's been my experience with them.
