Default Hotchkis TVS Installed (Myself)

I tell you I'm very satisfied. I exactly know what they mean by neutral feeling. Couple more days to let settle then go for a alignment check. Handling to price wise is no doubt worth it.

So far for the install it was pretty easy. My dad and I did it in about four hours. I used a spring compressor due to I already had one. But can be done without it. But I found that to be harder. The rear is easy. Done it in about 30 min.

Yes I knew about the rebate. Best deal going.

I don't have pics to load due to where I live we only have dial up and it takes to long to even load 2 pics.

The alignment was dead on. The guy showed me and he couldn't it was that good. I let it settle for a week. He said I was lucky though. It was done on a Hunter machine.

I went to Tri Star Automotive in Tyrone GA. I had friend who did all there wiring work before they open and they were pretty nice to me when I went to check out there new building, so I went to them.

They do alot of good work and motor build up's. Very nice people. They also have a dyno jet. But still will go to Sharif for all installs and tuning. They do tuning but it's all computer based instead of personal tune. There really into corvette's, GTO's, and mustangs.
