Anyone with Hotchkin's lowering springs?

They are suppossed to only lower your car 1" which is the absolute max I would want.

Anyone with experience with these?

I did this a long time ago and don't have any specific measurements, but I would say ~1&1/2".

I had these on my old 1997 30th SS. The car was a hardtop, Hotchkis springs, bilstein HDs. The car also had BMR STB, LCAs, APHR, relocation brackets, Torque arm and a KBDD SFCs. This car drove like an absolute dream. The springs are great. They do not bounce. There is no harsh ride, these springs felt very much like stock. I would say my car with all the suspension pieces came to a complete heighth of about 1 & 1/4 inch lower than stock. I got complements all the time. Good luck
