Hotckis
<1" drop. Great for daily driving, handles well enough for some spirited driving. No camber issues. Easy on the back side in terms of ride.
Are those relaly on hotchkis? it seems pretty low compared to other hotchkis setups... looks great. I'm torn between those and tanabes..I live in jersey so I worry that the tanabes might do some damage from the roads although they look sweet.

Eibach...1" all around. For me, not too low and enough to tell the difference.

I have 25mm spacers all the way around and thinking to have it lowered with Hotchkis. I'm not they will rub or not.

Thanks.

Thanks dude, the only "complaint" I have has to do with swaybar binding and endlinks. Sounds horrible and they need to be greased quite frequently. The springs - no problem - work fine - they actually have settled more than I realized they would settle. I had my car aligned right after it was done and was able to put all in spec but the front left wheel, even though the front left wasn't way off. I like a little camber, I am thinking of having it redone now since it has settled to recheck for camber issues.

I have wanted to put in some spacers as well...you wont have a problem.

I'm looking into getting some springs, maybe Eibachs...But i'm concerned about a couple things:

Camber: How many of you with 1 inch drops or less have increased tire wear because of this?

Stock shocks: Obviously aftermarket shocks are better, but how strong are a set of stock shocks with 26K on them?

Thanks! Great thread btw

I have 1" drop all around. Couldn't really tell you about the cambers because I had them on while I installed my coilovers. As for the shocks, I'm assuming that depends on the environment or the way driver drives.
