Is the Hotchkis TVS kit really worth the money or can I accomplish similar handling with other popular tubular control arms and sway bars And stiffer leaf springs And torsion bars from a variety of different companies out there. The Hotchkiss system seems very pricey for what you get And it doesn't even include shocks
The rear springs are unique and made for handling. They have mid eye's for lowering, second strong support leaf up to the front spring eye, and another leaf on top of the main leaf next to front eye to resist axle hop under braking. They are very different than MP H.D. or XHD or other common over the counter springs.
The upper control arm is relocated to reduce bump speed as opposed to just installing a tubular upper control arm on B and E body cars.
The rear sway bar is adjustable
The sub frame connectors connect directly to the leaf spring front shakle where the load is.
Sway bar eyelets are formed to receive/cup bushings as opposed to holes in flat surface.
The sway bar to frame bushing brackets are butressed for reinforcement.
Just some of the different added features between the Hotchkis stuff and others. You might not feel you need them or want them, but they are there.
