Default Hotchkis Springs

I am looking to purchase some Hotchkis springs for my Z. I have tried searching but I can't seem to get the answers I want. I understand that it's about a .5 drop in the front and .75 drop in the rear but in the pictures I have seen, it does not look very noticeable. Is it noticeable without having to look closely? Are getting over speed bumps/driveways a problem? How is handling affected since the rear spring rates are actually lower than stock? Also, how long should I expect the springs to last? Thanks for your time

-Derek

-I think the drop is only noticable by other car ppl (mainly Z owners).
-I don't rub on bumps/driveways unless they're really steep.
-performance; I put the springs on at the same time as the sways - the combination is great...though I can't say what it'd be like just with the springs.


I got them b/c the drop wasn't to much that I'd have to buy aftermarket suspension parts to correct the alingment and it's still a very suitable daily driver; but it does handle much better and flatter around corners!

I still think for the price, they're really hard to beat.
