Hotchkis Springs installed - before/after pics

Just got the Hotchkis springs installed. 1.5 in the front and 1.0 in the rear... I expect them to set slightly

Before:


After:


Although I havent had a chance to really test the car, I did take the bumpy way home from the shop... from what I can tell the car behaves a bit better over the bumps. Which is nice. I like the drop!

Nicely done!

I was thinking of adding a set of Hotchkis springs to my EVO after I get my new wheels on. From what I've read here, everyone says they love theirs. How is your alignment after the new springs?

Nice!!...thanks for the great pic's!

I really like the way the drop looks. It has a level look to it, not a wedge shaped drop.

Thanks!

It was suggested that I wait until the springs set before I get the alignment... which makes sense... the springs were installed no more than an hour and a half ago.

I'll update after the alignment

from the close up pic, the front is tad lower than my Eibach prokits. rear is about the same. front/rear is almost even stance on your car.

Looks real nice, balanced look...
