Smile 2010 Camaro with hotchkis lowering springs before and after images

After reading other forums from this site i bought the hotchkis lowering springs 1" drop. I installed myself, it wasn't that hard. Here's are the detail images before and after.

I see red x's??? I also have the Hotchkis springs and adjustable sway bars. It looks alot better with hardly any gap now between tire and fender.

the ride feels really good for a 1" drop, but you can tell that the suspention goes up and down a little bit faster

Have had Hotchkis on for 8 months. Great handling and good ride with the v6 shocks. Of course you do get the more abrupt movements fo shorter springs.My drop is a bit different but the side changeprice shows,my diminsions are 28.875 front and 29.25 rear,the side in my pics are 28.625 front and 29 rear, full tank of gas.
