looks good.. we need a shot from further back tho.. it looks so SLAMMED that close up. does it look ridiculously low in person ? i really like the look of a lowered car.. but hate it when a car looks low-rider dropped.


PS other person take pics of the install during/and after-- badass!!

So what is the inch drop on these?


>>>

Ahhh n/m think I found it:

Front 1.7" (43mm) Drop 175 lbs/in (Stock 150 lbs/in)
Rear 1.97" (50mm) Drop 285 lb/in (245 lbs/in)

Sound right?

Ya, those numbers are right. Larger drop in the rear b/c the stock setup is higher in the rear and Hotchkis will level out the car.

Ok... so install didn't quite go as planned... (crappy tools). So I'll post a larger update later as it's own thread (very long).

Suffice to say: Front is done. Rear is a dirty *****. I'm not happy*. Have to call the dealer to install.

Your results may vary.

* Hotchkis is still cool, don't get me wrong. Not their fault - still a good product.

Check out the 3rd post from Eric. Several people have had a problem like this and Eric's post may help.

Sure... click the link in my signature for tC pics. Most of the first ones are with the springs installed. IMO, the perfect stance.
