Default Got SLP springs will I notice a drop with hotchkis springs?

As the title stats. My car was equipped with the slp springs. I have a set of hotchkis springs and was wondering if I will notice any drop. I believe hotchkis advertises a 1" drop and that the slp springs are suppose to sit alittle lower than factory springs.

To be honest with you I think the SLP are the eibach but I think they were also advertising a one inch drop also. But it depends on the car because the car may be on the low or high spec. end depending on how much it would actually be lowered in the end.

The car sits high, and tonight I put the springs side by side and the hotchkis was a tad shorter. I know the slp is a progressive spring with the rates going from 97 to 130 I believe. I can't remember what the hotchkis are.

I think I might do the Heater hose mod and set the springs in the lower perch in the front.
