Thats actually not a bad stance. Dont they advertise 1in. drop? To me that looks like its a lil more then that. I like the way it drops in the rear too.

I think im gonna go with the LT1 Pro Kit, i like the stance on that too.

I have been meaning to write a review on my Koni/Hotchkis setup. I think the stance is perfect and it rides great.

Looks good, got hotchkis springs but waiting til i get the konis before i can put em on I hear nothing but great reviews about that set up. Pretty much either stranos or hotchkis springs and KONI's

You should just re-title this thread to sportlines are junk. Almost any aftermarket spring is better than the sportlines

Hotchkis springs have a nice stance. I have them as well and noticed the drop to be a little more than the advertised 1" drop. Very nice.
