Looking at upgrading my leaf springs and thinking about hotchkiss in my 67 barracuda. Anybody running these?

I have them on my ‘73 Swinger. I love them. Lowered it where I wanted, rides nice, and has a decent rate for cornering. I have added Bilstein RCD’s and a Hellwig swaybar to help them out even more.

Thanks. Was just looking at those bilstein shocks as well. Got pics?
I have them and the hotchkis sway bar on my 71 Scamp and they are good pieces with great handling but when I installed a gear vendors overdrive the one inch spring drop screwed up my u joint angles so I had to lower the rear axle back to stock to get the driveshaft angles back into proper working angles. if no gear vendors in the future then hell yes.
I called and talked to the guys at PST and they got me shorter shocks for the lowered height.
You did a good job with your wheel choice and stance, looks perfect.
Thanks for the compliment. I dig it.
Hotchkiss Leaf springs, shocks, and front sway bar. The front sway bar wasn't installed in this picture. These parts combined with a 1.08 T-bar make for a really great ride. I'm impressed ever time I drive this car at how well it all works together.
