Cars look great, as usual!
A little off topic, but how well do the Hotchkis springs ride with the stock shocks (assuming you're still running the stock shocks)?

Bob: You are correct on iForged. 18" and larger. Intro makes them in 17" though.
Josh: I am using the stock shocks and they work fine. This is the fourth f-body I've lowered with stock shocks and no complaints so far. Hotchkis springs ride smooth, that is why I keep using them.
DrkPhx: I had DPE Forged wheels on the C6. Pics on my fquick page. Click the link in my sig. www.DPEngineering.cc

Damn, 1st ride out I came back with this on both tires
I'm running GS-D3s in 295s out back
Also to answer the question about the stretched tire, mine don't look stretched in person.

Only time I've ever had a Hotchkis lowered car rub a tire was in my hugger orange SS with three heavy dudes in it. I've had the same brand springs on the '00 T/A, '99 SS, '02 SS, '98 Formula, and now this car. I'm sure they would rub with too many people in the car, might roll them to be safe.

Both cars look great! How much did the Hotchkis springs actually lower the car? I am considering these springs but don't want more than a 1" drop. Do you have any before and after measurements from the fender to the ground?

Tony and everyone else... FYI
iForged only does 18" wheels and above for there 3 piece wheels....
They do make 17"s in there 2 piece wheels....
17X8's and 17X10's and there quite a bit cheaper....
Lookin good like always Tony.
