Hotchkis TVS for A-Body's!

Looked through the article, but didn't read it (yet).

One thought on the lack of springs and shocks, is it possible that they don't need to be upgraded? I noticed in the article that the front swaybar is something like 1.5", substantially bigger than most setups. I know that there are two theories for handling, stiff springs and shock with a smaller swaybar to control body lean, the other is lighter shocks and springs, but a bigger swaybar. Don't know enough to say what the pluses or minuses for either system, only that there are supporters about both. If this system used a really big swaybar, it wouldn't need bigger torsion bars and shocks to create the same roll stiffness.

Just a thought.

Hotchkis sway bars are hollow, so bigger diameter does not necessarily equal a stiffer spring rate. The Hotchkis bars are likely stiffer than a lot of the bars out there, but its not as much as the diameter would lead you to believe. They are a lot lighter though.

New t-bars and shocks would be the only way to go, running this set up without upgrading those would be a large waste of money, especially if you've got stock shocks.
