Who has Hotchkis springs?

I was about to order these and found out the G and Z are the same part number. The advertised drop is 9/16" front 3/4" rear. Since they're made for the 350Z, the drop on the G will be about 1.1" front and 1.25 rear. Is this correct? To those with these springs, can you tell me what the actual drop is, and if you were able to get in back in alignment?

I just ordered these from Greg at GSC - I was torn between these and the RS*R springs and he assured me I would love these - he said they smoothen out the ride in the rear and they handle great esp. when matched with the Sways - I should have them on next week, I'll keep you updated... I'll try to post the pics he sent me of a G with the springs installed on them (what made up my mind)

I too was torn between the Z H-techs, Hotchkis, and RSR's. In the end, I ordered the Z Htechs because only a very small amount of stiffness was transferred to the fronts, and wanted a subtle drop. I'm married with two kids and don't want the kids bouncin' around; otherwise, I would have ordered the RSR's.

Sponger,

Please let me know how the springs perform, ride and amount of drop. Also, if you experience any camber adjustment issues.
