a couple of my car on hochkis springs:

 

You know i was just looking through some of the past comments and just saw that...wanted to say thanks

glad you went with the stechs too....i was thinking of those too but i got the sway bars and springs package in a good deal, so hotckis it is!!!

 

hmMmmMmm.. this thread makes me wonder. now im deciding on getting s techs or h techs. the pics are really nice but id like to see some up close ones to see the gaps (finger gaps if possible) of the s techs and htechs so i can compare them side by side. i'd also like to know, how far the bumper is from the ground with the s techs?

 

^^^I don't really know much about gaps and springs. But I saw someone else's picture and they had four fingers in their wheel gaps.... I put my hand in my wheel well gaps and four fingers also fit, they had some new springs installed and then two fingers fit....

And the one of the first things I noticed when I saw the sports car That was my second choice after the Audi TT was the 350Z and that thing was so low to the ground. I was like what in the world. But I took that thing on a test drive and soon as I got off the lot. The bumpy freeway roads right outside the dealership; I was like, I would not want to ride in anything like this ever.... or constantly (cause the tourqe was nice) at least. I got this car to Ride In! (not to track in)

I think I could deal with KJ_ scion and the look of that drop if it still rides comfortable.
I only test drove a Z for ten minutes, but I would not want to go through all the miles I do in my car for no wheel gap if it means feeling like that for hours instead of minutes.

The Coil overs don't look good to me on those 17 stockers, but I know its just for the photo to be that low so never mind.

Can anyone let me ride with them on their springs (dumb question I know, I'm joking, but I would feel even dumber to spend over eight hundred bucks on 1.4 to 1.9 inches unless it was from doctor and surgically removed from another part of my body)

 

eibach sportlines.

 

my 2 tone tc


H&R coilovers dropped on 19x 8.5 Axis mods

 

that was the way my car looked at the time of the photoshoot. gotta do with what you've got. i now have real wheels on my car. no more stocks.

 

My TwoToned? Where do you get off balling like that!!!!!! *picking up jaw*

 

AWWW that bother you----poor guy

 

its been a slow two weeks, no doe for like ten dayz..........I'm starting to sound poor, cause its true.

 

I really like the look of the Hotchkis Springs, and on RacingSolution.com I can pick up the Springs and Sway Bars for $468... its called the Hotchkis Stage 1 TVS System. Is that a good price for the complete package???

Specs:
Front Sway Bar: 24mm - 2 position adjustable
Rear Sway Bar: 27mm - 3 position adjustable
Front Drop: 43mm (1.7") 175 lbs/in (stock 150 lbs/in)
Rear Drop: 50mm (1.97") 285 lbs/in (stock 245 lbs/in)

Some info on how the car rides and handles would be great too. Thanks in advance!

 

If you really want it buy it from here

This is where i got it and it was around $400 total after shipping which is a pretty good deal compared to what you found....and it was the cheapest i could find anywhere.

As for the ride it is beautiful..mind you i have yet to add the front sway because it is a pain in the A$$ to do yourself without a lift...but the rear and springs are amazing....i can take corners at 70+ without a problem(i have pirelli's that help keep me grounded too though) but the rear sway combined with my DC sports tower strut bar is great...i will eventually get that damn front sway on.....ride is pretty close to stock and all my passengers that i have had in my great say that it rides very nice....also i have the rear on the stiffest setting and WHEN i put the front on i will have it on the sofest...most have said this leads to an optimal results!

Hope that helps

 

hey thanks for all the help and info Fsu1dolfan!!! that price is so much better too, especially compared to what I was about to pay for them... thanks for the tip on the setup too, I was also wondering what positions to put them on but you answered that for me also... I am also glad that the ride is near the quality of the stockers and yet the performance is outstanding! When I get everything installed I will try to post pics asap! The only problem is getting the moola!
Stephen

 

moola is always a problem...but glad to help...keep me posted and let me know what you think when you do get them

 

You GOTTA put the front sway in! My friend and I did it in my garage with a couple jack stands. Yeah, it was a tight squeez, a pain, and took a couple hours. But when I only had the back in, I could totally feel the front inside corner lifting and the body felt like it was twisting in turns. After I put the front in (middle setting, rear on tight) it is AWSOME! it just squats through the corners. I have the TRD springs, not the TVS set with Hotchicks springs but still, it's awsome!

 

^^^^^I know I know....i really want that damn front sway on!!!...glad to here you like it

 

mine will be up soon!! h-techs on the way

 

Damnit... I already really want the sway bars, but now you guys are going to make me go spend the money now.

I already have the Hotchkis springs (sexy btw) so I guess I'll have the TVS Stage 1 when I'm finished.

And yes, keep the pics coming!!

 

Any H&R drops on here? Springs, not coilovers.

 

Hotchkis!.....hands down!
