does anyone done this set up or this the set up even good. a noob doing research before buying some suspensions

 

I have the Hotchkis Stage 1 TVS Kit with OEM shocks. Rides good to me. May upgrade the shocks someday

 

thanks. what type of shocks are you thinking of getting?? can you tell a difference with the drop

 

As for shocks not sure yet. As for the change with the Hotchkis Stage 1 TVS Kit. Huge difference. To me the car is more responsive and way less body roll. The ride quality is better for sure to me. I am sure a good set of shock would even make it better. I am holding off on shocks right now till I learn more about the types. I have been looking at the adjustable ones. Now those tokico hp don't look bad at all. Seems to me with this setup it would be good for the occasional Auto-cross

 

I have the TVS1 kit with Tokico D-Specs. It's a firmer but more responsive ride.

 

i see. well im trying to see what will give me a comfort in ride and also have performance to it. im thinking of getting the hotchkis stage 1 kit. what settings do you have for the sway bar. since i know that it will really affect the way the car handles with the springs

 

you could have bought some tokico d-specs for 499 shipped.

 

I think mine are setup like this:
Front = Medium
Rear = Stiff

 

shoots!! i think on getting the hotchkis stage one and maybe get the tokico shocks. thanks everyone

 

No porb. I am sure you will like it once all installed.

 

I've been running the hps with hotchkis springs for about 8k with no issues , noticeably stiffer but car feels planted at high speeds. shocks appear a bit shorter and wider that stocks. I'd recommned for an econ set up.

 

I have the Hotchkis TVS installed on my '05. Very minor drop. A bit stiffer in the front and almost no difference in the rear. We have different stock rear springs. Yours should make even less of a difference. As far as the sways, You won't believe how easy it is to adjust. So play with them until you get the feel you want, screw anyone's recommendations. Basically, the stiffer the front compared to your rears, the more understeer, etc. Stiffer sways are better for high speed stability, but a little roll is good on the streets.
