Default Roadster with Hotchkis Springs?

Any pics of roadsters with hotchkis springs? preferable with 19" wheels.
I'm thinking of swapping my eibach pro kit for hotchkis. My car is too low, esp with a front lip.

That's why I bought coilovers so I wouldn't have to deal with being too low or not low enough. Sure they cost alot but you only need to install it once to get the perfect ride height.

Here's mine with the Hotchkis suspension kit. I think mine is a bit stiff, but a lot of people think it rides great--stock shocks.

Not to steal the thread, but you gotta love the way the Z looks with the top down and the windows up. Some roadsters look awkward with the windows up.

Thanks for the pic ... i like the drop, is the back gap a little higher than the front, or is it just the pic?
