Hi how is the RIDE on your car with the springs?Also what kind of tires you got size etc.
The car rides great untill you hit bumps. Bumps are not that bad but definately noticeable. If you hit consecutive bumps in a row it gets kinda bad, but its all worth it because 90% of my wheel hop is gone The tires that are on there in the picture are winter sport M3's in stock size. I now have 18's and with the combo of springs, sways, and 18's it handles like a beast. here are pics with 225/40/18:

I'm one of the few that went with H&R springs (Sport Springs). Overall i'm happy, the ride quality is unbelievable, i've owned a few cars in my life with strut and spring upgrade and this car rides no worse on oem struts. I would like the car a little bit lower, i may go for coilovers later this summer if i've got the cash. I've got small fingers, i can barely fit 3 fingers in the front, comfortably able to fit 3 in the back. The box advertised 1.5F 1.5R i got more like 1.3 front + back, i highly recammend H&R's if you're on stock struts and want something that will lower the car more that Mopar's but not give up your ride quality.
BEFORE
These pictures were taken about 3 days after it was lowered, it's settled a little more.
Hey all you guys on Hotchkis Spring and Stock struts , how u like the ride ? Is it stiff like hell , or bouncing a lot ? How's the handling compared to stock springs ?

dude, i went with the tein ss kit all around. and it is just frikin amazing. ive heard the hotchkis setup rides about like stock suspension so.... anyway man, if youve got the 1400 to spend on a suspension, go for the SS with the pillow ball mounts from tein. besides that, they are adjustable so you can change em at the track or daily driveing, car shows or whatever

I'll try to catch a ride in tein setup ! The more i try the more ill know what to get next ! For the moment , i can't wait to put my Hotchkis on !!!
Try to get a ride with a setup on the Mopar Coilovers too. The ride quality on these are great also. I have the Stage 2s and am extremely happy! I had springs on my 01' Neon RT and it bounced like hell!
