The kit w/ a set of springs and sway bars. is that kit anygood. im looking for a minor drop. It still has to drive in the winter and this looks like a good deal. If you have this kit chime in and tell me what you think.
Pics would also be appreciated.
Also were did you get it and how much?
Thanks all

i forgot to ask hows the ride? Real bumpy or mild?

 

big_boy_phil has the hotchkis springs, and he likes 'em. Maybe you could ask him. The drop is not to low, and less bouncy compared to stock (according to him)

I was also thinking of doing the stage 1 kit, but I heard the swaybar install is pretty hard and should only be done by a proffesional shop. I'm more of a do-it-yourselfer. I'll stick to just some springs. Probably Hotchkis or TRD.

im gonna have a shop do it after my last experience w/ suspensions. plus i want someone to yell at if i hear noises. I know i can do it but i would rather pay someone else this time.

 

anyone else have this kit?

 

um noises are common and normal , well depending upon the noise but creaking is normal and a part of life. you cant yell at an installer because of a design element.

 

I have this Hotchkis Kit and love it. The drop is good and so is the ride. The springs and rear sway bar were a piece of cake, however the front sway bar was a mother. There is no way you do this right without a lift. I did this swap with a friend who works at a dealership. I think it is worth every penny, plus the offramps are a lot more fun now. The cheapest place I found this kit was GSC Motorsports. At the time I ordered mine, they were out of stock and I had to wait for Hotchkis to make the springs. However, it was worth the wait and I don't think you will find it anywhere cheaper. And NO, I have nothing to do with the site for those who are going to ask........Don

thats a decent price. I think ill do hotchis or eibach springs with a whiteline rsb i can find one.

 

How much is an install on package like that? It looks good.

 

i was told 300 350 for install. for that price i will do it my damn self. The noises i was talking about would be a clank of a loose top mount nut. Cringing to hear and tough to tighten w/ hand tools.
