Why? Do you have comparative data? Have you had experience with each setup?
have Hotchkis TVS and can say it works well and I'm happy with the setups performance and delivery of claims. Can I say they are the best, no. I don't have that type of data to back it up. I think we all have to start being more realistic with our claims. As this board and automobile progress and mature we need to start working with facts not emotion or the "I have it so it's the best" mentality
I have researched all the springs before I bought my RS-R ti springs. And FYI, Unlike Eibach, H&R, and RS-R, Hotchkis springs were never used on professional race cars in Japan and Europe, and that says alot, cuz those are the places focus more on road racing and tracks, and besides getting sponsored and get freebies which are important to amerture racing, Professional racing teams acutally needs dependable products for them to compete and win the race. The conclusion is RS-R might not be the best spring but sure it's better than Hotchkis.

Is RSR or Hotchkis spring requires camber kit?
How low can you go w/o aftermarket camber kit?
Thanks in advice.

lets not get confused with what H&R, Eibach and RSR use on race cars to what they use on street cars. And there are a bunch of ameteur racers in the US using Hotchkis as well
Personally I had the RSR non ti - no camber correction needed, nice even drop, but not slammed, and every bit as comforable as stock. I have since swapped to coilovers

Ameture and Professional are in different class by the way.

Ok so knowing all this information what would everyone recommend for a spring kit that would produce the following: Less bounce, handle better, slight ride height drop, and would work best with stock shocks?
-Also what do you mean when you refer to the early 03' models having funky suspension set up?

My new setup (RSR/Koni/Hotchkis) has none of these problems, and IMHO is how a Z _should_ feel. I'd expect it handles better than any OEM Z, especially considering the Volks and wider rubber.

My Z was also a early 03' but I don't know if it has the mismatched suspension combo that you talked about. Is there any way of finding out because I have no comparison?
