I'm Code Red's brother.

To be honest it is slamed. In the rear atleast. The Hotchkis kit he bought I helped put in. For some reason the front didn't really lower at all while the rear squatted down real nice but didn't look right because it sat high in the front. So for now there are two 2in lift perches bolted to the rear axel to even it out.

I told him he needs to contact Hotchkis with the parts numbers and find out what the deal is with the front springs.

So right now it sits about stock heighth but man does it ride and handle a 100 % better. After the new suspension got put in you could immeadiatly tell how much power the old suspension ate up. Off the line felt more solid.

just a quicky...thought it looked cool

:hmm:

As I said there are "2in lift" perchs underneath the Hotchkis springs in the rear.

The rear springs lowered the rear of the car but the fronts didn't. So to keep it from looing gay we put the Lift perchs in the rear.

My brother will contact Hotchkis and get the skinny on the front springs.

Here is what the front gap looks like after the Hotchkis springs

And here is the rear after the Hotchkis springs.

So we put in the lift perchs to equalize thing until the front gets figured out.

but we did like the way the rear sat when lowered.

i had to cut a full coil out of my hotchkis coils in the front also.

when i first put them in.. it was almost NO diffrence. maybe an inch.

then i cut a full coil, and perfect.

this is when i DID have hotchkis coils.. now its AME.
