OK, My question is this. Guys with lowered cars how does the car hold up to a bump at highway speeds say like 65/70 mph right now my stock suspesion is kinda jumpy of some bumps. IF i get Hotchkis springs and bilstein shocks will the lowered rear end be able to be stiff enough not to travel to much at that speed.

I don't, but IIRC, the Hotchin's springs lower the car 1"... my Eibach is 1.5" (closer to 2" now) and they're fine over bumps.

My dms springs are rated at 1.6 in the front and something like 1.9 out back. I used to hit the bump stops all the time, but after I shaved them down I only hit them on big dips like overpasses and things like that.

ok thats good, i just dont want to lower it too much im kinda scared to hit or scrap anything so 1in is good enough for me

My hotchkis arnt too low. After being on awhile and settled its about 1 1/8" lower than stock. They ride great with bilsteins.

Not worth it. If you are looking for stability and comfort shocks are the last place you want to skimp on, they make the biggest difference.
Go for at least bilstiens if not Koni SAs.

Camaroking1996

Anyone with pictures of there hotchkis ride height?

Chaos07

OK thanks ill stay away from Tokico's ill stick to bielstiens and koni's. Thanks for the Info thats why we have this place to ask questions and get answers.

I'm guessing you will have to bfh the inside wheel well. Unless you already have done so. Also consider shaving your bump stops so you don't smack em all the time.

Jeep bumpstops in the rear, JasonWW shock mount mod in the front, 2+" drop all around and it rides 10x better than factory
