Default Hotchkis Install and Edelbrock IAS's

Ok, I think based on Golden Velvets info below I'm starting to lean towards Hotchkis for the drop. I'm not one for rough rides, but I like stiffness of camaros/porsche's so I think I'll bite the bullet (realizing it will not handle like either of those). here's my next 2 questions.

I've done a search but couldn't come up with anything. Anyone have a pdf or anything of the written instructions for the leafs and front coils of hotchkis? Hotchkis has a pretty good sale going on right now too so I think I'll get the parts from them.

I think if I go with the IAS to begin with, I should be able to avoid the ride problems GV was explaining. Which brings me to my next question. Where is the best place to get these shocks. I'm pretty much finding them for $75 a piece everywhere.

These are the ones I was looking at, pretty sure these are the right ones for a 2/4 drop.

Edelbrock Performer IAS Mono-Tube Shocks
2" Front - EDL-33023
4" Rear - EDL-34023

Thanks in advance,
Andrew

I had the Hotchkis and Edelbrocks and didn't like the ride at all.

Edelbrock had alot of quality issues while back.. Id shy away from them. We never sell them at work and nobody ever asks for them. Ever. Im gonna try KYB's Monomax.

First off I love the way it rides it's a little stiff but not harsh. The shocks are a must!
I'm not sure about the instructions, from what I remember there wasn't much info,remove\replace a couple off crappy pics. I got mine at summit racing for 69.95 each.
