I haven't heard anything about the Hotchkis except they don't lower the car that much. Hotchkis is a well known company and has been around for a whiles. Their springs are progressive and lower the car about an inch. I'll let you know from my personal experience as soon as I get my hands on them. I'm planning on buying springs and I think those are the ones for me.

The "kit" springs in my case and many other have not achieved the stated drop. Maybe the *** end of my car is just extra light, but ive seen this problem with both the sportline and prokit springs.

Not saying in all cases this is true, but it makes me wonder about quality control with the rake that some of the cars are getting from the same kit as others with a similarly built vehicle are using.
