I've been searching for the right lowering setup also and also decided on the Hotchkis. I heard that GSC has the best prices and called them to order but got no response so I ended up getting the kit off ebay for 329.99 + shipping which includes the springs and sways. I have an 06, so I'm also going to shave the one bushing spoke about on the forum to get a little lower in the back. I'll post some pics later this week after I get everything installed.

Are hotchkis progressive or linear? They're pretty cheap and the drop looks nice!

In my honest opinion the rear could have been lower for me. Maybe it's because it's an 06, I think the 06 suspensions are higher than the 03-05's.
Here are my before and after pics:
