Hey Jim,
Nice write-up! I have this setup as well but with the additon of the Koni Sports Shocks (aka Yellows). Love how the car handles & the car's drop is perfect IMO. Low enough to give it a low profile look/stance & not so slammed that you'll need to purchase adjustable arms. You can maintain the use of the OEM arms & keep it within spec. Here's a pic of my setup:

I have the Konis as well.....sounds like a good combo for both handling and looks. I may have to switch to Hotchkis springs.

That'll be me
.
For the headlights, the stip is smoked with VHT tint spray which will allow the light to still shine through. The sidemarkers are the JDM clear version with Bat's 3/10 tint overlays which is why you see it slightly smoked. I would say it's in between fully smoked & clear

Just received the TVS Stage 1 a few days ago. I'm going try the install myself. Anybody have a link to a how-to thread for the Hotchkis springs? I can't get the search to work.
