Trying to decide whether to go with H&R or Hotchkis springs. According to the websites Hotchkis is 9/16 & 3/4"...H&R is 1/3 & 1/1"...but I've heard people on here saying that H&R really drops 1/5". I'm planning on getting the Axis Se7en Mods in 19/20" staggered & don't want to have to roll my fender. Does anyone have any pics of their car with H&R springs? I've seen RodH's with the Hotchkis & it looks very nice...would like to be a little lower if possible unless someone's already tried it & rubbed. Any help would be cool...

Thanks

 

Here is aron's Z with H&R springs...here's a copy of his post "For all of you that want to see the Z lowered with H&R springs here u are. The drop is 1.5 front and rear on 19" Volk gt-7s. The tires in the rear are 275/30/19 and the front 245/30/19. Drop in the front looks lower because i got too small of a profile in the rear. I should have gotten 35's. not 30's. The SLIP light comes on very often as a result when i go around large corners at higher speeds or even when i gun it in a straight line. I have to keep the VDC off a lot so the accelerator wont cut off. So, if you are planning on getting new and larger tires and rims, make sure you dont screw up in this dept. The company i bought my tires and rims from said they have had no problems with this yet so far, It just so happened that the 275/35/19's were on national backorder. That is the spec i wanted but they said 275/30/19s would be fine, that they had sold plenty for the Z and noone had any problems. I probably should have just waited but that is what they told me."

 

here is mine w/ h&r's . i have 20x10.5 in the rears and i have no problem w/ rubbing. and no fender rolling

 

mine have settled just a bit, my sig shows my car as of Sat with 19" wheels

 

performance wise Hotchkis is supposed to be better because they are linear. Just a side note, if handling is a priority. Hotchkis is a race company, and not really a "show" company.

 

so how do you like the handling and the ride on the hotchkis springs?
