here's mine:

it doesn't look quite as high as Rick's but it's definately not as low as some other springs. i only wanted an inch or so. if you want it to look slammed, hotchkis isn't for you.

i think the best spring for a t/a with TT IIs is DMS or something similar.

Im guessing its probly best to go with DMS if you have 17s. 18s+ seem to fill out better with just an inch drop (hotchkis). Any DMS owners with 17s that enjoy thier ride and have good clearance?

hmm... well the T/A in OneMeanZ's thread has a good drop on it with the Hotchkis.

I suppose I will give it a shot, after all - I do have 17x11's in the back. If they don't settle like I want them, you'll see them for sale on here shortly

It won't hurt to try, worst case senario is you sell em and get some DMS springs

link in your sig is a little butchered up, but I got it.
