Default Suspension Setup

Anyone run Hotchkis Springs with KYB AGX?

What about Hotchkis Springs and Bilsteins?

I know Sam Strano's setup with the Strano Springs and Koni shocks are the cat's meow but I'm looking at what other setups are out there that are also good.

If you want your shocks to last you with lowering springs, get Konis, period.

I continue to sell other brands of springs, just for instances like this. I do think mine are better, but that doesn't automatically make everythign else junk.

Among the other brands are Hotchkis.... And H&R, Eibach, Vogtland's standard springs, and a bunch of cheap ones which I'd never use.

dragonrage is right in a sense. Bilstein's are not valved for, or inteded for lowering springs. If you hell-bend on Bilstein, than honestly the Hotchkis springs are a good choice because of the amount of drop and lesser spring rate--that gives the shocks the best chance to damp the springs in the best possible way. But sort of like saying running a moderate cam is better to use than a big cam if you are running stock valve springs....
