How much did you get them for? Looks great. What's their advertised drop?

Looks good, I think I'm going that route. Hard to believe someone else did it with stock shocks.

I'm thinking the KYB AGX's are a good way to go for the $. They advertise 1" drop.

ya, it rides really nice even with stock shocks and poly bushings. i think the advertised drop is about 1-1.2 inches.

I have had my hotchkis springs paired with koni's for 2 years now and they feel great. The drop is a little more than the advertised 1". But the drop looks good. Your car looks good with the drop and the body kit.
