Been reading the post here, you guys have a lotta good feedback.

Im going to get the Hotchkis springs.

Does anyone have the Hotchkis with the Bilstein Shocks? How is the ride?...a little stiffer than stock?

Anyone have 315's on the back? Will they fit after the lowering? any modding?thanks

Alignment will be needed obviously. Am I missing anything?

Just an FYI for the recent questions about the 315's, I have them at stock ride height, they have rubbed in tight corners and under hard acceleration even after I took a hammer to my wheel well and slammed the **** out of it.

My Adj. PHB took care of the problem at last, but if you plan to seriously lower your car with 315's be ready for fender rolling and some serious hammer/grinding action.

Sportlines came on my car when I brought it. But I don't like the look of the front wheels, it's too low and I hate the look of angled wheels. So I would like to just keep the rear Sportline springs and put front ProKit springs on. Rear prokit springs sit too low.

I have sportlines on my car too. It looks slammed and sick! I used to have a truck on airbags, so anything rides better than that in my opinion. I also have SLP Bilsteins. I tuck tire on the front wheels and can get a finger between the rears on my 18"s. Hope this helps. Oh yea, I have long tube headers with a 3" ORY, so I have to be very careful while driving. If if did it again i'd try Strano's, but can't beat the look of a slammed Camaro!!

Sportline rears and prokit rears are the exact same part... same part # directly from eibach.
