I am going to drop my car and was looking to go with the hotckis sping front and rear and use 275/40/17 tires on 17x9.50 rims. I currently have 275/60/15 on rear and 2056515 on front. They claim 2" drop in front and 1-1.5" drop. with the tire change on top of that does anyone know what my final stance might look like? Anyone with pictures? I think I would see about a three inch drop in the rear and 2.5" on the front, does this sound right?

Are you planning on using the 17x9.5 up front on a stock subframe and suspension components? If so I don't think they will fit. An 8.5 with 5" backspace with a 245-255 tire will be about max, and that will truly be fitting 10# of tire in a 10# hole. There will likely be some frame rubbing at full lock with this setup.

Here's a link to a car that has Hotchkis front and rear springs.
