You can google search for Hotchkis springs on a Tc using the Image tab. It will show you a pic or two.

I have a question for anyone who has this package or namely the sway bars. I am wondering how they are? I am really thinking about getting them but am worried the rear may be too stiff and cause tire wear and handling issues. I have seen instances of people using too large of sway bars and rolling their cars or even twisting their chassis.

Look around, there's plenty. I saved about 20 onto my hard drive last night. Here's a few though.

Hehe... those last 3 are mine.

My g/f and I both have Hotchkis springs. LOVE THEM. I don't think you'd need the camber kit though. Just not necessary unless you will actually be changing your rear camber on a regular basis. You can get it aligned and still have some negative camber (I just did).

Anyways, here are a few more pics from my site: http://files.allankintz.com





And one of my g/f's (hope she doesn't mind):
