Thanks! I am liking the wheels more every day. Had to run some "errands" at work so basically spent almost all day in the car.

I had plans prior to the incident to lower it about an inch. Only thing that concerns me is I don't want to limit the driveability...

Got this today in anticipation of the stud grinding I'll be doing for the spacers this weekend.

You will not be disappointed with the Hotchkis set... totally comfortable on the road, a great lowered stance and close to no brake dive at all. The car handles great. Changes lanes effortlessly and in complete stability.

Really man, the Hotchkis race pack is by far one of the best mods on my ride.

Your ride is coming together very nicely Mr. Stacy... glad you can put that whole crash episode behind you once and for all...

Thanks man. Still a little freaked about semis.

Got a link to the Hotchkiss kit you are describing?

Yes sir... I would also add the endlinks as the stock ones for our years are very weak (see pic).

If can afford it, I'd also add the Chassis Brace... this thing really stabilizes the back end and on the road your car is going to feel like one solid piece of rock!

The full kit includes the endlinks and brace, and it also includes the Strut Bar. On the strut bar I installed a 4point BMR instead tho.



Chassis Brace:

OMG! That looks crazy better.

Does the chassis brace work on the convertible? I know convertible already has some extra bracing here and there...

I believe so... but I'd double check with Hotchkis to be sure.

Freakin A! You're going to love it...

I'd recommend the endlinks too:

It was in 2012 when GM upgraded them... 2011's and 2010's still needed the upgrade.
