I have some pics after installing my Hotchkis springs. A special thanks goes out to (removed) (rasermon) and Rob (silverawd26) for helping me with the install. The spring install went smooth and the outcome was better than expected. You can also see the new lug nuts I put on as well.Pic 1:

How does your car ride with those springs, compared to stock. Did you change your struts and shocks at the same time? Just curious what the trade offs are.Chris
Looking sweet, Triton! Mine's gonna end up looking exactly like yours b/c we seem to have the same exact taste lol. How much were those lug nuts and where did you buy them from?
Sorry about not replying sooner to my own thread, but we got hit here at work with a bad virus. Took our whole network down. First of all, I also wanted to thank Mike (cohocarl) as well. He was there for a little while and helped with the springs too. I didn't want to leave him out. To answer some questions, the ride is great! It is a little bouncy from time to time, depending on the road. Not bad though. I love the way it handles and rides. No trade offs if you ask me.As far as the lug nuts go, I got those off of Ebay. I have only seen them in blue and black. The were $35 with shipping. You just have to be careful with them. They are painted and they chip kind of easy. I am going to get another set for backups. And James, by signature pic will be changing soon. I need to have it updated.
