New spring time for me as I am putting a new rear end in, just another excuse to spend more money.

Please send me a pic of you ride and thoughts on the performance of it. Also issues, ie-it was too low etc

Thanks!

They are low, but I love it. They ride great. Im running a 275/60/15 rear tire and no issues with figment. No rubbing unless you hit a bad bump in the road or have 2 large adults in the back

@dave73chally that is beautiful!  A lot of people think I have lowered springs but they are stock with 18" wheels. Just another option.

Especially good looking idea with Yearone cast aluminum rallye wheels IMO

303, that is also a great looking ride!

I am figuring while I am replacing the rear, I would put new(hopefully better handling) springs in. I am thinking if they make my car handle better, it is worth the money. Not autocrossing, but want a decent handling car.

I had a Hotchkis suspension on my 91 Z/28 years ago and loved how it handled.  It was just the right ride height and handling was great.  I'd post some pics if I had any.

Reach out to hotchkis and see if they will be at any nearby shows with their E-Max Challenger. I saw it a few years back at Carlisle. Between the way it looked and how it handled, sold me on going with their products. I also love that you can buy them through Summit/Jegs/Amazon for good deals at times. For example, I got their UCA's on Amazon for 400 brand new on sale when they normally go for 600+

Sounds great!  Go the their website and get on their mailing list, they have great sales. Look for a Labor Day sale coming up.
