I'm normally a Bilstein guy....but took a shot at the Hotchkis shocks...which I think are made by Fox.
I upgraded every suspension piece at once so no real isolated testing but it has a great sporty feel. Its got low profile tires now and ride a million-teen better than the old kyb's with 15" wheel tire combo.
You'd think the ride would suffer from the short sidewall compared to like a 60-70series sidewall but its great.
