Default My SOM SS w/ Hotchkis springs

Here are some pics of Hotchkis springs installed on my SS. Just posting for anyone interested in the stance these springs give. This was just the drop I was looking for and they ride great.

Nope, I didn't get any measurements. I will say I like these a lot better than the Prokit w/ Bilstein HDs that I had on my 99.

Stock right now. I will upgrade to some Konis or revalved Bilsteins next year probably. My stock ones only have 7,000 miles on them and the car only sees about 2,000 miles a year so I figured I would hold off to make the upgrade.

Also, keep in mind that your car will drop a little more after about thousand or two thousand miles.
I have these springs and love them.
Not to "*****" your thread up, but here is mine.

The rear is 26 1/2" and the front is 26" from ground to fender.
I only put about 500 miles on these springs, so these measurements may change in about a 1,000 more miles or so.
