Default New pics (with Hotchkis springs)

Took some new pics today. Once again, I must apologize for the extreme crappiness of my 1 MP camera.

Cool

Cool.....almost the exact stance my car has, with the only exception being that I've gone to 17 x 9.5 Z06 wheels.

Wheels are cosmetics... Cosmetics are for girls... J/K !!!

Does look nice though, but How does it feel? Had it in the twisties yet? Did you just get the springs?

My 98 TA handles like a dream compared to my daily (98 toyota Rav4), but I have kinda been eyeing that Hotchkis TVS setup...

How much of a drop did those springs give you? I like the way that stance looks.

I love my Hotchkis springs. Just an FYI, they will settle lower.

Handling: I've got cheapo shocks, which I replaced at the time I put the springs on (see sig). So far, stiffness is not a problem, and it handles VERY close to stock, but I am saving up for better shocks. One of my stock Decarbons died (83K miles), so this is an intermediate upgrade. Cornering is great, but I think that's mostly the sway bars. One big improvement is no more nose dive under hard breaking.

Drop: Drop was probably a little over an inch all around. I really love the way the car looks now!

Settle: These have been on for a little over a month now, and they did settle a bit in the week or so after installation. I'm totally pleased.

I've had Eibachs with stock springs for 4 years now. LOL I can't wait to see what a decent set of shocks does for the car!

That looks much better BTW.
