I guess I'm in the minority here, but I think the rake looks great just like it is. If it was my car I'd leave it alone. That being said, your instincts made you feel that the rear should come down a hair and since you're driving it and I'm not, i'd say go with your first instinct. Everyone has different ways they like their cars to look and perform and like I said-----IT"S YOUR CAR!!! make it right for you.
I'm with Freak. Id love to see how they sit on 22's. I like the way it sits but would like it to be as low or just lower than eibach. Not loving the rake of the eibach. I understand that the car has a natural rake to it but would like to see it sit even.
Good post Hemeee. Also has anyone determined pricing yet?
Hey sis what can I say she looks great. But then so do all of your cars and trucks, and if Chuck gave his thumbs up it must be a fine ride. I tryed to photo my 1500 Hemi but as you know it's to dam fast for pictures just put the new air intake system on, and she sounds so good now, but by the time you hear it comming she already gone. see ya soon. love the look of the new girl.

Hey Li'l brother... it's a sad day when you have to track family down on the forum to get a word in huh? Glad you like the new look, can't wait to see and hear yours with the new CAI!! Have to get the family Hemis together soon.
Lova ya bunches, your very favorite sis-in-law... MEEE!
Well Speed and kid, looks like I may have some answers for you about the ride on 22's by next week...
Don't ask why or how, cuz I ain't talkin' and you can't make meeee!
Looks very very good. Did they put on softer rate springs and a larger anti-sway bar? Hotchkis makes good stuff. I'm sure you will be very happy. Keep us posted!
LWOOD, as promised, Wes at Hotchkis provided the info you requested as follows:
HP Front Coils: 20% stiffer than stock / Spring rate: 280 (Stock 228)
HP Rear Coils: 10% stiffer than stock / Spring rate: 650 (Stock 594)
HP Front Sway: Ø 1.375" (Ø 1.056) 30% stiffer than stock
HP Rear Sway: Ø .750" (Ø .559) 150% stiffer than stock
Also, for those interested in the specs, please note a correction in spec sheet #2 in my first post.
Something about those numbers was buggin' Hubbeee... the decimal conversion on the rear drop was wrong, it's actually just slightly less than an inch... pretty darn close to the front drop rate. Thanks Hubbeee!
I'm actually a little shocked that one of you guys didn't catch that!
.....Also, for those interested in the specs, please note a correction in spec sheet #2 in my first post.
Hotchkis notified me today that the decimal spec was correct and it was the fractional spec that was off... since all the rest of their measurements were fractions, I ASSumed the decimal was in error. Anyway, it's minor, but it's a matter of facts and we want them to be accurate.
Thanks to the heads up from Wes and Aaron with Hotchkis Performance, I have replaced the documents in post #1 with the CORRECTED specs. per Hotchkis Performance...
....and BTW, for those of you who may not be aware, Tbyrne already stepped up to the plate and has a group buy going!
Oh and, for anyone who may have missed it, here's a fun follow-up showing my car, with the new suspension, on 22's... enjoy!
