I would get Hotchkis over H-Tech, but have you looked into Tanabe DF210? They are similar to Hotchkis, but lowers the read by another .2".... I'm going on 18K on mine and love them. They don't sacrifice ride quality and don't "sag" or rust for that matter.

had my hotchkis for about 2.5yrs with no problems with rusting. it gets very humid down here and we have a beach nearby so you would think it'll be more prone to getting rust but i saw none when rotating my tires the other day. Judge for yourself....



for more pics, check my signature. the ONLY way im changing these springs out is with coilovers, even with them ill be setting it at the proper height that hotchkis has. mine does look "a bit" lower in the rear due to my small system. Other than that, i still love the stance!

Hotchkis FTMFW!!!

Ive had Hotchkis for 1.25 years, and totally love them
I live on the east coast with the salt breeze, and my springs have not rusted a bit

my rear sits slightly lower than the front because of the system in the back. 1 box, 2 subs, and a pretty big amp.
