Hotchkis or QA1 all inclusive kits - which one?

Bergman is a great starting point. He can sell you pretty much everything you need, however, it likely won't be all the same brand.

I run lots of Hotchkis parts on my car and I love it. I autocross regularly and the car handles amazing. Lots of pictures and details in my build thread.

Some may think these parts are overkill for something you just drive on the street. I'm here to tell you these parts make the car much more fun to drive regardless if its on the street or autocross.


Here's a summary of my suspension:
Hotchkiss Parts:
Front and rear sway bar
Non-Adjustable shocks
Leaf springs

Bergman Autocraft supplied parts:
SPC Upper control arms
Sway-a-way 1.08 torsion bars

Qa1
Adjustable strut rods

You didn't mention if you have power steering. If you do, I'd highly recommend a Borgenson steering box (Bergman sells these too) To get the most out of all of this, you would want a larger diameter and width tire. Not required, but recommended.

I think we’re on the same page re driving enjoyment - everything you’ve included is really useful - thank you. I do have power steering and as expected it’s not very tight or engaging, so will be checking that out with Bergman too, thankfully have some ‘slightly’ wider tires and rims than stock - she’s far from a project car and is in pretty good shape… this is her before buffing her paint back to gloss, which is my current project….0A22F3F5-D8E3-4AF4-A1A3-B5A3E10A53D1.jpeg
