SO too all my Hotchkis users out there!! I'm about to purchase the 1 inch drop springs Hotchkis off phasetek, but some say they they sit somewhat lower than 1inch, and all i want is 1inch!! Nothing more!...feedback please before I buy..thanks!

Great springz i have them. 1" is optimal because not much more than that is hard on axle joints. I dont know if any of the brands drop exactly a inch but should be pretty close. Makes the car look great looks like a sports car instead of a 4x4.

These were my 2 choices for brands but i decided hotchiks as well. I need to order and I’m 50/50 about going to a shop for install or doing it myself. I usually do all of my own work. I’m trying to wait for some Fourth of July deals

I had them on for a year. Good ride as many have said on the forum. The front dropped 1” only, the rear was about a 3/4” drop, a friend had the same amount of drop. And yes more then a 1” drop in the rear can cause axel issues. My drop now is 1.125” in the rear which is still in the range.
All I have read is Eibach aren’t great so research that. My set is for sale if you want them |

Edit: I looked at the Jdp site. 2010-15 v6 and SS use the same pn 19110. Spring rates are same. But check with Hotchkis to be sure |
