Do you get the idea that opinions are like butt-holes, in that everyone has one?
First, Pro-kits generally lower the car more than 1.25", despite the claim. And normal Bilstein's are not valved or intended for use on any lowering spring, so I think that idea is a non-starter.
Hotchkis an option and a spring we used a lot before we came out with ours. I only did springs because I wanted certain things you couldn't get in a spring package before. Mine are more handling oriented and 1.25", the Hotchkis ride a *little* softer and aren't usually as low @ 1", but on some cars you get a little more. Which is the other reason I did springs, I wanted something more repeatable in terms of drop.
