i tried to read your post, but it was giving me a headache so I stopped. If you would be so kind as to re word your post, it would be appreciated.

 

if you're getting TRD struts check Ken out at www.trdsparks.com! (if you don't already know)

 

^^^I'll second that, I ordered my sway bars from Ken. He's a great guy to deal with, and is very knowledgeable. They also have very competitive prices on their products.

 

koo....wut i meant was, does anybody have Hotchkis springs on there tC?

 

I know that English does-- he was going to send me some pics so I'll post em up here if i ever get them. I've been trying to find a picture of the Hotchkis springs installed on the tC as well.. other than the ones provided by the manufacturer which don't give you a very good idea of what the drop looks like overall.


Come on people! there's gotta be more than like 1 person on here who has these....

um.. i've tried that. several times. all i found was the lousy pics provided by the manufacturer or whoever was selling them.. they weren't good pictures and didn't really provide an accurate view of the drop. so, again, if ANYONE has these installed i'd really really like to see them. ...

 

I think we need to get this guy a new keyboard. But here's a glossary for those of you who are confused:

 

Thanks, I tried the universal online translator, but I wasn't able to get any translation. The part about it that I find funny is that all he has to do is a one letter to his words, and they would be proper english.

 

bump-- someone's gotta have these installed besides English....

 

I'm trying to win a set of them... and then I'll have them installed...

 

lol.. okay... well um, keep us updated on that? thanks.. guess these must not be very popular springs. i don't know why because i do agree the rear of the tC is a bit higher than the front to begin with so it would make sense to even out the drop by having the rear drop a bit more in physical inches than the front.

 

Hey Smash,

I will be installing a set of the Hotchkis springs and bars tomorrow afternoon. After a bit of research, I believe they are the right combination for me--linear and right (leveling) drop. I hope I'm right. Anyway, I'll post pics either tomorrow or Thursday.

cool! thanks a bunch! can't wait to see the installed pics.. especially on an RS1


good deal

 

any pics yet? hehe.. can you tell i'm anxious?

 

Not yet. I'll have some later today. I got the springs and the rear anti-roll bar in last night, but saved the front ARB for today. I'll take pics as soon as I get it back together--sometime this afternoon (I hope).

 

cool.. can't wait to see 'em!

 

BTW, my girlfriend can't drive a stick shift--scares the heck out of her--which was reason #3 of the 100 reasons that I bought a tC with manual transmission. (numbers 1 & 2, respectively: its more fun and its faster)
