Hotchkis Suspension Pieces
« on: January 22 2012, 11:09:41 AM »
I see Hotchkis has added some nice G Body pieces.  They are not cheap, but, they are cheaper thru distributors as that is how I bought my Challenger parts.  They do a great job on correcting geometry in their upper control arms altho I did not buy those as I already had a new set of tubular arms.  One day, maybe.


The tubular sway bars are nice and light.  The rear is adjustable.  They offer that option as well with endlinks to improve the geometry.

The build quality was excellent on my stuff

A lot of broken parts does not make you a racer; it makes you a slow learner.

I bought the Hotchkis TVS system for my car back in 2004.  I did not get the tubular A-Arms however.  It lowered my car and really changed the way it handled.  Be aware if you ever want to go with a front mount intercooler, the Hotchkis front sway bar will not work as the bar kicks out toward the front of the car and will interfere with the intercooler pipes.   I had to buy a DSE bar from Scot W. to make my RJC front mount fit.

did not realize they had them listed that long.  Just saw an ad the other day.  That rear, optional bar is similar to the HRStuff bar, I believe.

Those tubular bars are made for ol men that struggle to hold the solid kind up while installing them
