Default Dropped with Hotchkis Kit (pics) no 56k

Just put these on and went on up to the dragon for some fun on sunday.
thinking about getting some spacers too any recomendations?











Also wondering what things can be added to the car to gain traction? i think i may need to do to a medium setting on the rear sway bar, because the back tires break loose pretty easy right now, in an 04 Enthusiast

ride is great im really surprised by the ride, really really stiff, ive got it set to the stiffest setting, handling is great i just need to somehow put more traction down coming out of the switchbacks, the right rear just breaks loose a little easier so im sure an LSD would help that out alot the headlights are actually on in the picture but the LEDs are hooked up to the parking lights, i didn't like them at first but i really started too once my friend drove my car and i drove his and got to see what they look like at night, i also got the cool while LEDs for the license plate just to make it stick out in a crowd haha

Congrats. I love my Hotchkis kit. Just keep playing with the sway setting till you find a setting that suits your driving style/needs.

did you get a camber/toe kit? If not, were they able to get back to factory specs? Im torn between these and tanabe gf210. I was afraid hothckis might be too minimal, but then the tanabe might be too low and end up scraping my bottom...ride looks sweet though..especially teh rims
