    Has anyone heard anything about this company and their product. I am still looking for a good 2/4 drop kit. I want something that will give a good look, and handle well, but still have a decent ride. I don't want to give up to much ride quality for handling. Any suggestions tips and advice is welcome.

    Thanks,
    Randy

    On the rear, the hotchkis rear sway bars are nice, i wanted to do mine that way, but i saw them after i bought the shackle and hanger kit.

    The fronts, i would just get some good springs, some do spindels, but that's a lot of work just for 2"

    Shocks: i'm a diehard bilstein customer, i love em, i've had them on my camaro, trucks, tahoe, etc... and they handle great.


    later,

    you're gonna pay about $500 for their swaybars, front and rear.

    i think belltech's are for cruising, they don't compare to the bilst. i've heard of many ppl switching cause the bell's tend to be a little soft.

    if you like that , great, but i like a firm , non swaying ride.

    I was thinking of a good pair of springs up front, and shackles and hangers in the rear to keep a little softer ride. I have heard that hotchkis leafs in the back are great for handling, but tend to ride a bit rough. I am also looking at wester chassie, I have heard that they make good kits. I want something a little stiffer than stock, but not something to rattle my brain. I am also wanting to do swaybars front and back, are helwigs any good.

    Did your ground force kit come with shocks, and if it did how did they perform. I figure if I go with the kit, I can use the shock til they wear out and then get either bilstiens or doschtech(sp?).
