you know there's a stickied thread with pictures.. right?

 

Would I scrape with the Hotchkis springs if I have the OEM Ground effect Kit

 

Im running the full TVS Stage 1 Hotchkis kit on my 08. Very good product and handles great and also gives a very nice drop.
****NOTE**** like mentioned in the post Im quoting ^^.... I am a mechanic with a lot of years of experience.... so here's my 2 cents on the sways. Most people can install the rear Hotchkis sway themselves without much trouble and general wrenching skills. But please note this... installing the front Hotchkis sway requires dropping the entire subframe. And really should not be attempted unless you really know what youre doing. And it is pretty difficult to do without having access to a lift. I did mine in the dealer's shop with one of their lifts and it still took a few hours for me to install just that piece.
This isnt a rant....but I dont think they make it clear enough to people BEFORE they buy those kinds of kits how involved installing the front sway is. And with Hotchkis its not smart to run just the rear sway. It is much thicker than other options ie TRD, or Progress. Those are smaller diameter and are meant to be able to be used alone on the rear without a front sway.

 

^^msotenotc... just like with any lowering kit... you just have to be careful how you drive and approach angles so that you dont scrape. and you can do just the Hotchkis springs by themselves... you dont HAVE to add the front and rear sways...but trust me its money well spent. It really dials in the suspension mod as a whole... I have mine set on the street setting (not race which you could) and it handles and corners like she's on rails!

 

oops... forgot about the camber question.... with the Hotchkis... no you wont need them. if you went any lower than a 2" drop then I would recommend them.
