Default Wanted: Pics of cars with Hotchkis springs...

I know Steve's old SS had Hotchkis springs on it (how was the ride and handling Steve?) but does anyone else have pics of a car with Hotchkis springs on it? Thanks for any help.

Loved my Hotchkis Springs.. good ride and the car just sat "right"

It also handled VERY good at Buttonwillow and such..

I would give them a 9 on a scale of 1 to 10.. there are a shitload of pics on my website that shows how it sat..

Good deal Steve, and I did see the other post with the NBM Camaro with the Hotchkis springs. Just looking for some more pics of people with these springs as I feel they are really what I'm looking for.

Bad Blu, are those just the regular Hotchkis springs (approx 1" lowering, although I hear 1.25" is the norm)? Your car is gorgeous man. Between your car and Steve's it really affirms that these are the right springs for me. What shocks are you running Bad Blu?

I have the Hotchkis springs with "stock" shocks for now.
I have no problems with any ride issue's.
My pan-hard is loud as hell though!

Here is another one as well

I'm gonna go with the Hotchkis springs whenever I get around to lowering my car
$500 toward a new water heater for the house today didn't help

I swear the Hotchkis cars are by far the best looking dropped ones out there. Not too low and not too high, they just sit so right with the perfect amount of rake. I see alot of Eibach and I personally had LG G2 springs that dont have the right rake to the car. I'm sold.
