I don't have a hotchkis kit. I got mine from Aim. It's a 3/4. You can see it at my pic site. Springs, hangers and shackles. I have heard good things about the hotchkis kit. Also I ordered a 2/4 drop but as usual Aim can't get an order right and I wound up with a 3/4. I like it better but I've ordered stuff from them 3 times and it's been wrong all 3 times.

i have the hotchkis 2/4 drop and i like it. i don't have rims yet but it still looks good with the stock rims. only problem i have and maybe somebody might know how to fix it is that i hear a loud rubbing noise, metal hitting metal. i don't know what it is and sometimes it gets freakin annoying. it doesn't happen all the time only now and then. later.......
