Ive been running them for almost two years now. After a while they did "settle" at dropping the car about an inch and a quarter.. I love the springs - good ride, great handling and they give the car the right "stance" <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Lots of our vendors carry them.. shop around, look for GP's and email them for the best price..

I'll be using the Hotchkis springs on my '99 convertible. I always tell people that you need to "think more" when your driving a lowered car. This way you don't rub the air dam pulling into driveways or on parking blocks. The Hotchkis springs lower the car enough, improve handling and I guess you can say that you won't have to think as much <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

1-1/2" drop on mine. Which I really liked. Need to go with an adjustable PHR though to recenter the rear end.

After a lot of research, I have also decided to go with Hotchkis springs. For the people that have these springs, what shock did you decide to go with. I am thinking about going with the SLP Bilsteins because I have heard that they have a nice balance between performance and ride quality. Does anybody have this setup.

I also got Hotchkis springs in my car. They dropped the car to about 1.25 inches. I seen the stance on other cars with this spring and liked it. I am running revalved bilstein shocks from Sam Strano.
