I am thinking about the Full KINETIXS suspension setup and Hotchkis swats next.

PIXs later.
Please post pics, i've been wanting to get springs that are lower than my tanabe GT210's.

1.75" drop mean's next to no bump travel. This will give the illusion of stellar handling as the spring rates spike sky high as the bump stops smash down. It's not something you pick up on right away but it's their and it is not a plus.

Let me give you a word of advice. Dont get the Kinetix camber/toe arms. Adjusting the traction arms is not the correct way to solve the rear camber issue. Buy the camber arm and toe bolt set from www.iapdirect.com They offer more adjustability and is cheaper-trust me Ive had both Kinetix stuff and this. Drop looks good, but will look way better with correct camber and some rims

Cool pics, but are you sure they are 1.75"? They look very close to my tanabe GF210's. It might have to settle for a bit.

BTW Whats up with those fog lights?

With Hotchkis sways, GT-Spec LTB's, Hotchkis springs, and D-Spec shocks my G handles like a new car...but not as good as a Z w/similar stuff though

I was thinking the same thing.. I think mine may even look a tad lower?? Maybe they have to settle...

Ideas about bushings?
Urethane busings on those pieces wont even make a difference you can feel trust me like I said I had those arms. Dont know what you mean about drilling the stock rubbers ones though?
