Default Lowered the Z ;)

Well along with my personal Tech Ricky the Z got lowered. The rear is so easy to lower. But the front took us awhile as we didn't have a impact gun. I'm pleased by the front but the rear is sitting higher than I want it to. But that problem will be corrected if I get the rubber bushing's shaved down. The ride quality is tremendously good. It feels just like stock

Application: Hotchkis Sports
Front Front 9/16" (15mm) Drop
340 lbs/in
Stock 310lbs/in

Rear 3/4" (19mm) Drop
330 lbs/in
Stock 350 lbs/in

Yeah I got hotchkis on 19s too. I'm planning on shaving the rear upper seat also to drop it a little more.

More drop I did mine 1.5 inches all around. Don't worry about the wheels rubbing, but some speed bumps are dangerous at this height.

Love the color...Pikes Peak White!!!
