Hotchkis Springs?

I am going to lower the car,but I think that 1.5 would be too much,since there are alot of speed bumps where I work and some other places that I just wouldn't be able to go.How low is the 1 inch drop that they are suppose to have? I have heard that the Eibach will settle and be lower than the 1.5??

I've heard that Hotchkis actually drop a little lower than the advertised 1".

That looks good. Not too low,but enough to get rid of the ugly fender gap. What shock are you using? I am thinking of getting some Bilstein HD.

Yeah, that's what I'm using. I think its a good daily driver setup. I would suggest some LCA relocation brackets too.
