Sway Away!
Before swapping on any of the Hotchkis parts or doing any testing, we had to address the Biscayne's atrocious ride quality, a problem we created when we hacked several coils out of the factory springs to achieve an in-the-weeds stance. The car looked cool slung down low, but it was virtually undriveable. It bottomed out on every bump, scraped every curve, and was stiff as a buckboard. The perfect combination of ride height and ride quality always involves compromises, but we found that swapping to a set of front and rear lowering springs from Eaton Detroit Spring created a comfortable result. In the front, we ran a set of 1-inch drop springs with one full coil removed, along with a set of 2-inch drop rear springs.
