im sorry but thats the stupidest thing that I have heard today, well today started an hour ago, so rephrase, STUPIDEST THING I'VE HEARD IN 2 DAYS!

if your driving for 40 miles and you hit a pothole it has NOTHING to do with your suspension, Hotchkis will not magically make your car go SpeedRacer status and use it's built in lift kit to throw you over the pothole, thus protecting your car.

If you pay attention to the road you'll be fine, besides Hotchkis is about the same exact drop as H-Techs.

pete your argument is valid, for for the sake of everything the i dont auto cross so i guess the handeling aspect of my drop doesnt factor that much, and the quality of my ride isnt affected to the point where it botheres the poop out of me
H-techs are "high" techs
And neither are really that great for autoXing...Stechs too low and Htechs spring rate isnt great but are better than stechs for handling in actuality...
correctamundo joe dizzle... the spring rates on the stechs are alot looser which is why ppl sometime get a more bouncier travel on the shock tube VS the htechs...

actually serg. to some extent hitting a pot hole can adversely affect your suspension... determined by the speed and the depth of the pot hole and the angle in which your rebound outward goes you fall into a pot hole thus dropping your wheel at such a rate in which on the rebound motion to compress since now the car has to compensate for 2 different heights, your spring will compress even more and the shock travel will increase. if the shock travel and impact is great enough you "can" blow the shock which is something that happened to me originally by accident...

so yea avoid all death traps in hialeah or suffer the consequences lol....

my point was hitting a pothole is not a direct link to the fact that you have h/s techs, if your careful driving you shouldn't have an issue whether your chevy riding high or SLAMMED like cory.
