Hotchkis Sway Bars and Shocks

Quote:

Well I just finished installing the rear bar and shocks I purchased from Hotchkis and the car handles great. I already had their front bar and other upgraded suspension pieces and these last few things really made a outstanding difference. I did have to dimple my 3" exhaust just a bit on one side to avoid any rattles but just like the front bar all hardware was great and very clear instructions. Just need to step up to some better tires currently running 305-50-15 euro t/a`s in the rear with 265-50-15 t/a`s up front. I also notice that the car tends to not fishtail anymore when I hit the throttle and the tires start to spin, it goes nice and straight! I really need to take it out to Willow Springs next year a few days before the Spring Fling and see what I can do. Thanks for great products that really work and perform as advertized!

Firm Feel Stage 3 Box
1.00 Torsion Bars
Reinforced Lower Control Arms & Hemi K-Frame
11/16 Tie Rods
1' Thick Strut Rods
Moog Offset Upper Control Arm Bushings

Widest Front & Rear Wheels I could fit

SCATPK – Thank you for the feedback, we’re really pleased that you like our products. We work hard to engineer every component so they can stand on their own as individual bolt-ons, or as a complete system. If you decide to bring the car out to Willow let us know, we’d love to see it in action.

I would recommend your parts to anyone interested in upgrading the handling of their car. As said the parts are top notch and there is no doubt that you will notice a difference once the parts are installed. The addition of the rear bar and shocks made a world of difference to a car that already handled well. I would love to meet your staff if I make it out to track day next year before the fling and say thanks for a great product. I did have the guys in your booth look at my car a couple of years ago to see if the rear bar would clear my 3" exhaust and was told probably not. I am glad I went ahead and ordered it on line as it did fit with minor dimpling of the passenger side exhaust pipe.
