Although I've never used the Hotchkis rear leafs for my autocross Challenger, in my opinion, their design is pretty good (flatter and heavier duty/pound). IF I'd ever use them, however, I'd increase the stiffness by adding at least one long leaf... perhaps bringing it up to about 180-190/inch... a spring shop could do this for you and determine the stiffness per inch. What you want to have a flat springs (minimal arch) when compressed by the body weight... improves cornering.

My own leafs are Flex-A-Form fiberglass mono-leafs... 225/inch (5-inch free arch uncompressed)... resulting in about 1-1.5 compressed arch. I had tried different sets of leafs in the past with different TBs... and these leafs have seemed best for competition (as well as not bad at all for street/hwy driving).

Question: Where do you autocross in the midwest? Sending you a PM... contact me.. I'm active in the midwest (Chicgao, Milwaukee, ... pylon and HSPDE/HSAX, etc)
