How much of a drop did you get?IS the ride any harsher?I think it looks nice ,not a down to the ground drop but enough to get noticed

Heya Dans_03,Is your signature pic a before drop pic? It looks like it. I really want to do this drop. Looks very nice, almost the way the car could be off the lot. Looks very good Let us know how you like it.One question though, I've noticed that some with the hotchkis springs look lower. There are different spring rates for the Vibe/Matrix and Corolla. And the Corolla Spring item number is just 1 off from the Vibe's. What was your item number? I'm just wondering if the lower looking Hotchkis springs were actually the Corolla's and not the Vibe's Dave

The springs are gonna be a lil bouncy because its less spring with the same amount of weight. they are better then stock though and look 100X better.Look on Matrixowners.com or here... people sell different brands all the time.
