Hey guys!!! Just needed some advice on this little problem i'm having...
ok anywayz i ordered hotchkis springs and koni yellow shocks/struts. i just found out that koni doesn't recommend putting them on with springs that lower more then 1.5 but hotchkis lowered 2.0 in front and 1.97 in the back...what should i do?? should i still install them? would they be ok? or should i order some new springs that drop around the recommended 1.5? koni says that its problem of "bottoming out" (which is something i don't know anything about) PLEASE HELP!! any advice would be greatly appreciatted!!!!

 

Who told you this about he Konis?
And the Hotchkis lower 1.7 in front, not 2.0.
They should still be much better then the stocks.

 

yah..i was just flippin all the threads..and i remember comming across a few threads saying that koni doesn't recommend anything that drop more then 1.5 or else you might have a problem with "bottoming out" but when i read that i was a little skeptical too thats y i wanted to get more opinions..

 

Well, I got my hotchkis springs this week and am putting at least the fronts on tomorrow.
I don't have the Koni's but since they have less travel distance then stock, if they dont' bottom out, the Koni's won't either.
I know some others have Hotchkis and Koni's and none of them have mentioned bottoming out.

 

Hey...ur gonna love the hotchkis springs..i got them installed..MAN THEY'RE AWESOME!!!
