hmmm.....stechs are lower than hotchkis??? rear maybe, but im not too sure on the front? The stechs are supposed to be lower up front than the back??? Yea shocks are a must after a while. Im thinking about getting coilovers within the next couple of months, but setting them at this same drop! I love the way it looks!!!!

Default hotchkis

so.. i might be gettin hotchkis springs today or tomorrow, i see that you have pictures of them, that looks really low? is it not that low? i know the wheel gap is gone, i only drive myself and my gf in my car, and im a very careful driver on the roads, should i change my mind and get trd? i dont know what to get im confused between those two, trd is 1.25 but settle to 1.5 and that sounds good to me when hotchkis is probably 2 inches when it settles, ive measured the bottom of my car and it sits like 1 1/2 inches above the ground -_- help me guys =D
