FS TC: Hotchkis springs $100 obo
Looking to get rid of these, they're just taking up room in my garage. I put racelands on my car and have no use for these anymore. Price is $100 shipped or $75 local for the set, since they were on the car less than 6 months (less than 3000 miles on them) and are in perfect condition. (only driven during summer, no rust, nothing). Pick these up quick! They retail for about $200, so you'll be getting basically a brand new set of springs for half the price!
I don't think I have many pictures of them on the car, but if anyone wants to see the drop, I'll try to dig up some pics.

Just wanted to chime in and say GLWS... I have the Hotchkis lowering springs on one of my tC's, the one I use as my DD. It's a nice drop for street use, 2" drop front and rear which leaves a 1 finger width gap front and rear. Looks good, handles well, and being careful, I don't ever scrape the bottom at all or rub the tires on fenders/wheel-wells or ever hit any part of my Injen SES exhaust either.
The set I have on my 06 tC have been on the car for over 60K miles with zero quality issues so far. I also have a set on my 08 tC project build car. I do plan on a good set of coilovers for it adventually, but the Hotchkis springs work great in the meantime.
Hope this helps with your sell... I've built show/performance custom cars for many years and I would never publically endorce a part unless I have first hand knowledge of the build quality and function of it.

Picture from the front with just stock wheels
And another with 18 x 7.5 et. 38 Enkei GF1s
There's about a 1-1.5 finger gap depending on the wheels you're running. I loved the way these springs looked and rode, but the racelands were just too good of a deal to pass up. Otherwise I would probably still have these on. Hope the pictures help.
