Default Hothkiss 3/4" Drop... how low does it settle?

For those who have these... how low did they settle? Exactly 1/2"F and 3/4" R or lower...?

thanks~!

They are fine. I 've had them on for over a year with no issues. Looks great!

Hotchkis - leaves no wheel gap in front, and small wheel gap in rear. That is what you really need to know, right?

Wired, you pretty much answered my question.

As for Zivman, what I was trying to ask is do they actually lower 3/4F and 1/2R or is it lower or higher?

thanks guys! more input is appreciated!

Perfect... I'm definitly looking forward to this drop...

The wheels are Fast Wheels SSG... they should be available for sale now =)

emails Sales@Fastco.ca (or .com if that bounces) to get full specs on the wheels! They're not very heavy...

What about changing out the rubber spring seat out back with a thinner one from energy suspension. this will help level it out.
