Hotchkis or BMR springs

I currently just took off my Eibach sportlines due to them being to low for everyday use, and the rough ride. So I was thionking of Hotchkis springs or BMR's.

My Hotchkis springs are great. I had Eibach pro kit before and I didn't really like the stance. It handles like its on rails now with the Koni SAs and sits real nice as well. Check around as you should be able to get them for about the same as the BMRs.

i have Sportlines and they drop way more than 1.5" its more like 2" and then some after they sag alittle lol

Anyways my car rides like **** on the sportlines, my buddy has a ws6 with Hotchkis and it rides awesome takes bumps and turns like a dream, the BMR should be the same b/c they both drop only 1", so go for either one man im gettin whichever i can get cheaper...

Just put BMR's on my roommate's car and he's very happy with them. But from what I hear, you can't go wrong either way.

Hotchkis rocks your world. Check the sig for pics. They're not bouncy like the prokit.

I went ahead and got me a set of Hotchkis springs. They are still in the box waiting to be put on. I got them from our sponsor MTI for $219. Great service from them. Check them out.
