Im going to get the Hotchkis springs.

Does anyone have those 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

I think there is a sticky up top that shows all the different drops and springs for ya...Coil overs are the best way to go imo, Strano can help you out.
