pics of hotchkis

The springs look great, but as far as performance, well ahhh they suck.....ride is much bumpyer, and the stearing responce has been cut in half...will a sway bar hel much... woundering if i shoud have coughed up the extra coin and went full damer kit...ohh well, guess ill wait till the stock struts give out and ill have to make the move!anyways her are some after shots of the springs!! they look great!

You're the first person i've heard with a complaint about these springs, and your pictures don't work.

Did you happen to get your suspension realigned? When i got my car lowered, it handled like a donkey until i got it aligned. Now its almost as if im on rails.

Id say get them, but if you want stock feel or better save up the coin and go full damper, other wise this would be the next best thing!!
Only thing i miss is, when strearing the car from lane to lane, it doesnt have that bite or or quick responce to wann go with the turne!! if you can live with that then yer golden!!

That's funny, I feel that the Hotchkis springs the initial turn in is even quicker. Also, the ride is very much like stock, only a bit stiffer once you get the bigger bumps. Other than that the ride is quite smooth. I like the a lot.

Is it possible they were installed incorrectly?

I have the Hotchkis springs installed and, after an alignment, my car responds to steering inputs much better now than it did with the stock springs. I definitely recommend them.
