I have them installed now and they look great. The camber looks a little extreme. Does anyone have issues with uneven tire wear using Hotchkis?

thanks!

Also, anyone with Hotchkis springs with spacers? I am planning to get some but it looks so low!

Hers a pic of the camber

Do you have a side shot? How much did they say your drop was going to be?

Thing is, they aligned it for me. They said that the 07 are back to the 03-05 rear ride height. So I hope they used 03-05 springs and not the revised 06 springs which compensated for the higher rear end.

Here is is right after the install...

nice drop. the front looks pretty close to the fender for only a .6'' drop. at least the rear is not like the 06. I like it.
