Default Before and After pics of Hotchkis Spring drop on 06
This is a very very subtle drop. I have a pretty steep driveway and I have not scraping whatsoever and no problems with the speed bumps. What do you guys think?

Subtle, but big improvement. Do all 06's have that much wheel gap in the rear? Maybe its just the angle of the pics, but my brother's 04 Z on Hotchkis springs seems a lot lower.

Yes the 06's come with that much wheel gap stock. If you put the 06 and 04 side by side the wheel gap is very different.
