    Hotchkis Frame connectors.

    Super easy install, they slide right in. Lots of prep work and make sure a good welder does the welding. Usually takes about 3-4 hours. If you don't have/aren't a good welder, do all the prep at home and take it to someone who is.

    Help with strange knock???

    I would check your Idler and Pitman for wear, then look at the tie rod end links. After that, check UCA and LCA / Strut.

    Hotchkis or Bilstein shocks

    Glad to hear your guys are enjoying them. It's really hard to quantify/justify a really good shock to folks until they can actually FEEL the difference. And then it's "HOLY SMOKES WHAT HAVE I BEEN MISSING MY WHOLE LIFE!"

    Hotchkis or Bilstein shocks

    I would say the better comparison is the progressive improvement instead of a Brand X vs. Brand Y question. There are more people with experience of the Bilstiens, so when you ask this question, the results will reflect that. That said, how many folks that have made the jump from Bilstiens to...

    What steering box is everyone using??

    I've installed a couple of Borgeson units, each one had an issue, be it leaks, needing shimming or Pitman fitment. Never had an issue with Firm Feel units! I like the stage 2.

    Maybe a "Heads up" for PST?

    I 100% feel your pain on this and try to use paypal as little as possible, but for some reason some customers insist on using it, and the guys before make a pretty valid point, it makes it transparent to 3rd parties and is an easy way to flip stuff on ebay for new stuff. However, I'd just as...

    Shock Question

    First paragraph was pretty spot on. You can have a shock that is tuned for your application with a tighter adjustment window (less guess work) or you can get a generic shock with broad range of adjustments leaving the user to play wheel of fortune with their shocks.

    Sorry, I was wrong. The B,E&A have the same tuning, the B is different in length.

    Shock Question

    The shocks are valved for a best fit scenario on each specific chassis. the non-adjustable shocks are built off of a codex that was developed using this testing that allows us to calculate wheel frequency and control based off of corner weights and spring rates. These rates and weights are...

    Shock Question

    To be honest, I don't think anyone drives their cars any where near stock height anymore, but during before/after testing, Hotchkis sets the cars at factory specs for the before testing. As long as you aren't playing dues of hazzard, you should be fine, but I'll post the specs shortly.

    Shock Question

    The non adjustable Hotchkis shocks come tuned for the chassis and offer much better chassis control that the Bilstiens. We swapped all of our cars for the Foxs and don't even bother offering the Bilstiens to customers anymore. Development of the New Hotchkis Tuned APS Adjustable Monotube...

    Hotchkis tuned fox shocks experinces?

    Absolutely. We put them on all of our cars. The tuning that has gone into these shocks is top tier. Most shock companies are good with a ballpark guess and then making sure they fit, where Hotchkis tunes the shocks for each chassis. Development of the New Hotchkis Tuned APS Adjustable...

    anybody running a ps pump cooler ?

    Cools the fluid coming out of the hot box before returning to the pump. In our cars the PS box turns into a giant heat sink, and that is compounded by headers as well. Anything you can do to cool the fluid down will save you a lot of hassle.

    Hotchkis Sport Suspension Durability Test

    While I find it hilarious that you are concerned about how a private company spends it's money, I'm sure it came from an advertising budget. My company has one. Are you offended that I give away little flashlights with my company's name on it, or pay for local ad spots?

    Hotchkis 76 Dart Build

    Step 4: Alternator Bracket Design One of trickiest parts about swapping an engine from one vehicle into another is getting all of the engine accessories to clear all of the sheet metal of the new vehicle's engine bay. After we swapped the modern 392 HEMI into our Project '76 Dart, we found...

    Hotchkis 76 Dart Build

    There are two current styles on the market. The first (that we will not be using) is a booster motor that hooks directly to a power rack and acts as a hydraulic pump would have. The second is an inline booster that the column passes through on its way to a manual rack. The only down side...
