hotchkis VS gf210's
 

ok i've searched and searched and i think these are the most similar springs in comparison, but tehy have never been compared. Tanabe gf210's Vs Hotchkis. I checked and i didn't see the spring rates for the hotchkis, are they the same as teh tanabes? the drop on both seem to be the same. I kno the offset will effect performance, but it's OK with me , im not auto-X'n or anything like that, i just want "that look"


Whats every ones preference and it would be amazing if some one could post pix of gf210's on an evo vs hotchkis

Thanks !!

VS
Hotchkis................... 195 lbs and rear is 275 lbs 1.5f/1.0r

OK, that seems liek a big diff. What and why is the diff so big. Which are most prefered????

p.s THANKS EVOla !!!

The Hotchkis ride better and they are progressive which means they get stiffer when the spring gets compressed.

Thanks evotexas....good thing i posted this thread b4 i ordered...i am leaning more towards the hotckis now...

GSC Motorsports has an unbeatable price on them. {thumbup}

Yup, EvoTxs is right :) (not cause i have em either ;) ) GSC Motorsports were extremely helpful too....I bucked out on the rear sway bar cause Ive got the Cusco Ver1&2 under bars plus the RS and rear strut tower bar...she oversteers enough with that combination.

thanks :)

Well my vote will be for the Tanabe's...I don't have any experience with the Hotchicks ones but the Tanabe's handle very well in my opinion and have a pretty aggressive stance (see my sig for pics).

I've got an extensive review of the Tanabes elsewhere. I really like them for a performance application. The fronts are linear and the rears are progressive. Not what you want for a soft ride, though.
