Default Hotchkis or Pro kit???

Hey guys, I plan on getting some springs pretty soon but I am stuck between the Hotchkis and the Pro kit.

Hotchkis seems to have a little more spring rate but the pro kit comes with a lifetime warranty. Also i have read about a couple of people complaining about rear spring sag.

Is one better than the other or are they about the same.

hmmmmm.... both brands are great...

I have the pro-kit and love it! Not sure what the sag is all about that you heard? I would highly recommend Hotchkiss's sway bars though! I got those and they are fantastic! Nice and beefy pieces and also hollow for weight savings...

If you want a slight drop go Hotchkis. If you want more of an aggressive drop go Pro Kit. Keep in mind though the Pro Kit will sag in the rear over time. Were talking 20k miles then you will see it, don't get me wrong they are good springs. When mine started sagging I put the stockers back on the rear with the !ISOLATOR! mod. Either way you will be happy. Both are great springs.

Yeah, I'd go with Hotchkis if you want a bit less of a drop, but some great quality springs. The Eibach rear sag would bug me after it started.

I just recently installed an Eibach Pro-Kit on my car and it's awesome. If my rear springs sag, even after I put 20,000 miles on them I"m going to be pissed. However, I didn't know that the Pro-Kit comes with a lifetime warranty. I would assume they would replace the rear springs if they start to sag. I'm sure if the rear springs ALWAYS sag with the Pro-Kit's then word would spread fast and noone would buy Eibach Pro-Kits.
