Sweet, nice before and after red X's. Pictures don't work but copying the address and viewing the picture from another window will load them. Try linking to the album instead of the picture directly.

they look reaaaal nice Yanki01.

PLEASE keep us (or at least myself) posted about the Hotchkis sway bars. i'm wondering if it'll have the same rubbing problem like those w/ Tein coilovers. i'm assuming it will, but it's hard to imagine Hotchkis products not working together...

i have the Tein SS-P's installed, but because of everyone having rubbing problems, i have not installed the Hotchkis sway bars on my car yet. they just collecting dust at the shop.

btw, how much of a drop did u do?

ive had about a 1.5-1.7" drop from installed! they should settle within the next couple of days and should be 1.7" front 1.9" rear which will even the car out all around! Thats the reason why i went with Hotchkis because the drop lowers the car out to level!

You know you cant really see how sweet the tC looks when your up close, but when someone drives your car around you tell yourself that you have an amazing car! I realized that today when the guy test drove my car around the block to make sure the springs were a good ride and i have to say is this car looks SICK lowered that stock!

Im loving the springs and cant wait to get my sways! Ive heard only the front sway is causing rubbing problems! Hopefully they fixed it and set out new ones for when i get mine? HOPEFULLY!

actually these springs IMO are a great ride with no bounc. The harshness decresed with these springs and yes im on stock shocks and struts. I will be replacing them soon when i get the $$. It rides alot smoother. Overall i give these springs a 10+! loving them!
