Default Hotchkis Or DSE Rear Leaf????

Hello, I was getting ready to order a new set of rear leaf springs and wanted to know what was a better spring Hotchkis or DSE?

I want the car to sit 2 or 3 inch lower, so I want the best spring.


Any help would be great,

Thanks for your time!!

Hotchkis are only 1.5" drop in the rear. I used 1" lowering block as well with mine. I like 3" DSE personally. As far as difference I don't think there is much between the 2 other than differences in drop. I think they are both in the same price range? I may be wrong. I would go DSE
