I'm really curious to hear more about the ride. I'm thinking of a set of springs, but am still gathering information from as many personal experiences as I can...so any info is greatly appreciated when you get around to it.

i decided to go with hotchkis because of the comment around here on evom.net... i havent read one negative review. plus, i like the balanced look as opposed to the raked look that some of the other springs provide. the car has great balance right now, even without an alignment. the drop is just right, not too low.. just enough

I just ordered myself a set of Hotchkis springs too.. GSCMotorsport had the right price, and the springs look "right" don't give the car a rake to throw off the balance, and don't lower the car Too much.. I'm excited to see what my car will look like with the springs and APR splitter in about 2 weeks.. Wait till you guys see the wild paint job I have planned..

As you guys might already know.. I've held off on suspension mods because I'm VERY picky about how these components may affect the ride and handling of the car.. So far the Hotchkis springs are the only ones that people have not had any negative response to..
