Default Hotchkis/Koni 4/4s *Pics Inside*
I lowered the SS over the weekend, let me know what ya think. I ordered the Koni 4/4s from Sam Strano and got the Hotchkis Springs from a friend. The car drives like it's on rails now and the ride quality is 100% better than the stock springs and shocks.

Thanks, hey what do you have your Konis set at? Right now I have the front 5 sweeps from full firm and the rear at a 1/2 a turn up from full soft.

Right now I have them set at full soft. I did have them set at 4 sweeps from soft in the front and half sweep from soft in the rear.

Yeah, it's settled a little since that pic. Maybe 1/4-1/2".

I just measured it today and it's 26" in the front and 26.5" in the rear. My stock ride height was 27" in the front and 28" in the rear. Here are before and after pics.

Thanks again for all the comments guys. I just put my other pair of rear rims and tires on today (17x11 Blk ZR1s w/315 MT DRs) so I'll try to get some pics posted soon.

it looks sooo much better, could still use maybe another 1/4-1/2" in the front IMO, but still looks damn good.
