Default Lowered pictures

Anyone have Pics of a lowered WS6 with factory wheels and Hotchkis springs or equivilant. I want to purchase these but I want to know how goofy this thing will look without aftermarket wheels. Specifically how exagerated the wheels tuck inside the fenders.

Thanks in advance.

thanks. It ended up sagging a little too much for my taste in the rear, so i switched to HAL/QA1 setup with stock springs in the rear, and Drag springs in front at 25 1/2" up front. The rake it has now is alot nicer, and smoother ride.

I heard DMS springs are similar to Hotchkis, but offer a little better quality ride. Ya might wanna look into those.

Wow let me just say that I took the time to go through their website and look at reviews/pics. Those seem like the best bang for your buck spring. I know DMS was gone for a while and everyone was missing them especially their springs. You seriously might wanna look into them. Just read some of the reviews and at 180+shipping you can't beat it.

I've heard Hotchkis are just a true "performance" spring and you can feel every bump in the road.

Extincthawk,
That thing looks sweet. Very nice stance. Do you have any shots looking down the side of the car. A profile to see how exagerated the wheels tuck inside the wheel wells.

Thanks,
