Default My BCP dropped with Hotchkis Springs









I installed my springs about 2 weeks ago. Im sure they are well settled in so this will be my final drop.
So far I love the drop...not too drastic but not too calm. The car handles way better than b4. only thing that holds me back from trying them out more is just the stock tires.

I ordered the Hotchkis TVS so I also have the sway bars but they're not installed yet.

is any one has question on how there springs are..just ask away...

Hope you guys/gals like these pics

Clean ride. I like the lip spoiler a lot more than the pedestal one.

Nice drop. I did mine couple of weeks ago and I agree everything you said. Love handling and hate stock tire. My next mod will be getting a better tire and maybe intake.

By the way, I have question for you. Is your front gap between tire and body bigger than rear? Mine's front is little bigger than rear. Is this normal?

When I insatlled front lower spring, I didn't compress them. I just put everything together back and tight them. What do you think?

Oh also you should install sway bar too. Installation is way easier than spring and you will defenitely feel the difference.

yes the front is bigger than the rear... the back is 1.9 and front is 1.7...i think

It doesnt really matter to me....either way it still looks awesome.
I think the reason why its like that is to balance the car better

damm forgot your other question...my bad

the way u installed the front shouldnt be no problem...as long as the spring was seated right and everything was put back on correctly.

I havent installed the sways yet! no time but im sure I will feel the difference when I do
