Default Switched from Pro Kit to Hotchkis Lowering Spring pics inside--->

As many of the Pro Kit owners know it lowers you car a little more than advertised. I asked around and decided to change springs. I switched from the prokit with ony 800 miles on it to the Hotchkis springs hoping for a better stance( not so low) and stiffer ride. I GOT IT!! these are the best springs I have ever had. I lowered a truck of mine awhile back and use them and loved them too, but everybody said you should have gotten Eibachs, so when it came time for the TA to get lowered I did the Eibachs and nahh.... not so great, kind of squishy in the back and lower the car 2inchs! with a spohn torque arm that is to much, lots of scaping. so here are the pics of the Prokit









and here is with the Hotchkis springs






this is how much it has settled (in the back)







what do you think, I like it alot more not only the ride and look I dont scrape, its wierd what an inch will do for you

I'm biased, but I love the Hotchkis springs. Great ride and what I consider the "perfect" stance.

Thats great to hear man. I had the Prokit on my 99 but for my 02 I decided to try out the Hotchkis springs. Ever since I ordered them I have been wondering if I should have went with the Prokit again. I just wanted something that sat a little higher and I wasn't very happy with the ride of the Prokit w/ my Bilstein HDs. I can't wait to get my Hotchkis installed this spring!! Your car's stance looks great!
