I have been weighing my decision on which springs to buy because shipping them to Germany is going to be a pain and I don't wanna make a wrong choice. I have come to the decision to buy Hotchkis because of past experience and quality. I called them and they explained the dead coil concept to me , so I feel good about my decision. Can anyone post some pics of their xB dropped on Hotchkis coils with 17" rims. It would also be nice if someone has 215/45-17 tires like I do. Thanks in advance.\

FYI I tried the search function and found a few pics, but I wanted to see if anyone had some fresh pics just for everyone's viewing pleasure. I really love my xB and can't get enough of others also!!

 

Well, I don't have 17s, but here's mine on Hotchkis on 15's with the same outside tire diameter as your 17s.

 

Here's mine on 18's I have since sold them and got progress which are little bit more of and even drop and have less dead coils. I can say though that the Hotchkis have a really sporty ride the spring rates are comfotable yet firm for agressive cornering which I liked. Please elaborate on what Hotchkis told you about the dead springs please.

 

Here you go. I just got mine on this past Sunday. The guys in my club that installed them were really impressed with the quality. The also come with new shorter polyurethane bump stops. I'm rolling on 215-40-17's and the ride is real nice. Enjoy!

 

NYCE rides!! Hotchkis makes some good quality stuff so you've made a good choice.

 

Great choice on the Hotchkis! If we can be of some help, just let us know!
