Im actually looking to get the Hotchkis springs. Theres no complaints on them that Ive found. Ive seen alot about the Eibacks and how they ride really rough and they get the "saggy ***" in the rear where itll sometimes end up lower than the front. I seen Steves car with the Hotchkis and it sits about right. I love the way the rear sits, just the front looks like poop.. lol

Look into the BMR springs too. I have them on my Hawk and it's about the perfect stance.

It says Privat on them. It doesnt look bad at all. You cant even see it unless you look at the plates them selves.

Ill get more shots this weekend. Im moving so it may take a bit

Thanks for the compliments.

Looks good, but the back looks like trash. Too narrow. Congrats on getting the new wheels, I don't want to rain on your parade, just offer my .02
Would you consider widening the back? That'll look sweet...10.5" or even 11".

Those plates all around the wheels say privat or konig
I saw a close up and it said konig?

The plates on the inside of the wheel attached to the rivets?
KONIG---->If it said Privat I'd buyem.

Mine say Privat. I just got them today. Not installed yet though.

Edit: with the 275/35/18 it weighs 54lbs. the 285/35/18 weighs 54.5lbs

Weird isn't it? But it's an 18" rim compared to stock 17". You can't compare the two, looks way different. Same width but taller will look narrower...even if it actually isn't. Are you running a 30, 35, or a 40 tire?
