I have the hotchkis in a 98 z28 with koni adjustables on all 4 corners. Front shocks are set at about 1/2 and the rears are full soft. I like the lowering it is about 1 inch and equal around the car. But the most important part is I turn up the stiffness on the rear shocks to about 2/3 and it handles like a slot car. IMHO it is important to match the springs with the shocks for the best performace. You will not like stiff lowering springs and weak shocks. Good luck

Hows the daily driving with DMS? Lotsa scraping? I think It'd be too tight of a fit for my SLP LM.

SLPCAMAROSS sounds good, LM is my only concern.
I believe SS LS1's camaro has 19" iforged rims with DMS springs. Check out the first page of this thread for pics and details. From what i could tell, he likes the ride.

I had to cut off half a coil to get my car to sit right though. Along w/ the heater hose mod. About a year later the suspension settled and the rear got a little too low, so back in went the stock isolators.

I'm getting tired of my 1.75" drop old *** springs that the dude before me put on the car. They're like Matrix springs or some ****. I kept trying to avoid putting new springs on, but I think it's time. Not to mention I still have the stock DeCarbon's too... my car may sit nice but it's hurTING in the suspension department
