Hotchkis dropped mine about 1.5 front, 1 rear. It's noticably lower, and the tires are still completely out of the wheelwells. There's about 1 inch of air all the way around the tire, front and rear.

There are some pics in other threads of the hotchkis setup, try searching for them

any time you put springs on you should get it aligned asap. that being said, the camber is pretty much stock...

so at what point does the geometery of the suspension start working against itself on the evo? seems like the geometery is better than the impreza. i know i was dealing with that on my sti.

Camber is set to -1.0 which I think is less than what stock is at -1.5 if I am correct?
