Getting Hotchkis springs for the 1"drop (gotta get rid of that fender gap) and thinking about using the Bilstein HD shocks. Do I need anything else?Relocation brackets,panhard bar,etc? I am getting different opinions from friends as to whether I do or not.They say since the car will only be dropped 1" I should be ok.Thanks

No you don't need anything else. The Bilstein shock rates aren't ideal for those springs but it will work ok. It's not enough of a drop to require a new panhard (at least on mine I didn't need one).

Got any suggestions on shocks?Car is a daily driver ,no track racing or anything.Heck,if you know a setup that would be better,let me know.I just don't want to go lower than 1",I would drag everything around here.Thanks

Yeah, if you are willing more than the absolute minimum you have to spend, (and it sounds like you are), you probably want to talk with Sam Strano. He will most likely lead you towards his springs which are similar in height to the Hotchkis springs and revalved Bilsteins or Konis. Its a proven combination for these cars. And consider getting his front swaybar too.
