Thanks to Terry for getting my truck to sit "RIGHT" and for coming to my house, picking it up and bringing it back to me. The truck handles a hell of a lot better than it did. I haven't got to play around on the street much yet so I'll be giving an update in a few days. Here are a few pictures. I'll get better ones when the light is better.

Next time I see you I'll let you drive it and see what you think. I've been driving mine without a front sway bar for a few months so to me it handles like a go-cart.

Looks sharp, Adam! http://www.talonclub.com/forum/images/smilies/nana.gifJust curious, why did you go Hotchkis instead of Roush?

Can anyone do the color overlay with Blue to figure out what mine is going to look like later on this year? :D

Looks good Adam, but now we need to get to the track and figure out how it affects your 60 ft times. :tu:

Because I want to go with QA1's and the Roush already comes with shocks. Also the Hotchkis came with sway bars which I would have had to buy extra anyways. This one just fit my need better.

Its basically the same kit except for the Bilsteins and Roush's name. I wish I had gotten the Hotchkiss instead of the Roush for the sway bars.

Roush just lowers your truck, Hotchkis sets it on rails.:tu: I tell cusotmers that don't want a harsh ride go with Roush. But if you want to carve up corners beside a vette get the Hotchkis kit with the massive sway bars:bows . The stock sway bars are designed with understeer and protecting the ignorant in mind.

Adam, truck looks good. Nothing a set of 20's and a can of hi-temp black spray paint for the diff cover can't fix. 20's ,20's,twenties,twenties ........ :tu: !!!!!!

Damn, that looks good. How does the ride compare with the stock ride?? I drove ...(he who is from Allen, white '02L) that had the Roush kit, and I felt the turn-in was crisp, and it handled much better without sacrificing the stock ride, so I'd like to get an idea of how it compares. And what did that kit set you back?

It bounces around a little bit in the back over really rough surfaces but once I get the new shocks I'm sure that will die down. I will say that my truck will now turn on a dime and give you 9 cents change!
