Default Hotchkis Stage 1 Total Vehicle System???

Is this a good buy? Price? And a good brand? I have read good things about this brand but I like personal testimonies of ppl that have actually used products better than company products reviews.

Thanks in advance...

the springs and rear sway bar will be pretty cheap to install. i'd guess like...$200 ish, but that front sway bar is a pain in the but because you have to drop the front subframe to install it which is expensive and something i would only trust a very qualified, reputible shop to do.

Ooo..Install like that at our shop here intown would charge about 140.00 for the spring install and probably another 100.00 for the front sway install.....But roughly
you will probably be charged 4-6 hours of labor for the springs and maybe another 2 for the sways...The rear is easy, but you have to lower the front cradle to remove/install the front sway......depending on where you go.....I would maybe post up in your region when you get them and see if anyone can lend a hand or recomend anyone...
