Hotchkis TVS worth it?

how hard you going to drive it.



really don't need the tube upper arms. can just put the offset bushings in your stock ones.

1" bars from just suspension go for a good price

maybe new 6 leaf rear springs

front and rear sway bars

good shocks

and maybe 17-18" wheels and tires


that will get ya what you want too. can probably do it minus the wheels and tires for a lot cheaper then the kit your looking at.

Good advise! Im unsure why so many folks are going to tubular A arms..Moog offers offset camber ucs bolts/washers for far less than the $350 of a new uca's.

I remember my 74 Duster had handling issues whenI got it. Would wander in and out of lanes and had severe body roll. I installed the Moog bolts/washers along with KYB shocks up front.It was enough to resolve both issues and cost me lass than $100 at the time.Later on I installed a pair of overload coil over style shocks in the rear and it handled quite well!

My point to you is there are cheaper ways than the Hotchkiss system which are just as effective.

Myself Im waiting to see how XV's suspension system pans out before I make myself totally commit to a drag setup..Im sure it will be very pricey...
