How much for all of the Hotchkis components? How does it ride and handle as compared to the stock components and how long did it take to install?

Thanks

Ben

What did you guys have to do to reset the pinion angle/fix the issue with the LCA's raising after lowering the car.

I am trying to decide between this setup or the frpp for my 13 LS. Can you give some feedback now that you have driven on it a bit? Thanks

Yeah, definitely something shady going on when you don't get a quick reply. You know, you aren't paranoid if 'they' are really out to get you...

I went with the FRPP suspension. Quality parts with ford reliability.

P springs, Tubular LCAs, Relocation brackets, Adj. Panhard Bar, MM plates, Bump Stops.

Handles great. Launches a few tenths quicker 60'.

Do you also have an adjustable upper? Also, what is the angle of the LCA's after the drop?
