I bought the Hotchkis TVS kit back in late February.  I abdolutely love it.  It's by far the best thing I've done to the car. 

Handling is a lot better than stock.  Ride is as expected.  It feels a little stiffer, but not too bad. 

I took a drive with a friend whom owns a Matrix.  I asked her if my car rode alright and she told me that it rode better than her stock Matrix. 

It's worth it, IMO.   yes

thanks for the info! the sway bar set will definitely be going in my car in the future.  i'm thinking about the tanabe nf210's for springs.  the hotchkis drops seems a bit much for me in Pothole-ville, NY.

I work in South Salt Lake, and the road is pretty awful.  Well, worse than awful...  I'm still on stock steelies and Goodyear rubber and it's not entirely that bad. 

I'm a mini trucker so I have a built in homing device for potholes.  lol  I just try to aim the pothole for the middle of my car.

Just for fun, I'll show you the drop.  I took these from another UtahScions member whom actually owns a digicam (I still don't, I know I fail).







It gets down, but still not quite enough for me.  I maaaay go coilovers or air.
