Hotchkiss A arms

[needsaresto]

Just grabbed a mopar muscle off the rack and I see Hotchkiss is offering a new upper control arm for mopars,including the A body. Any one used em yet?

there is nothing special about them to warrant the crazy price.

yep...they are way way too expensive... RMS or Firm Feel are the only ones I like...

I see the firmfeel arms are non adjustable,at least thats how it looks to me. The RMS ones are as are the Hotchkiss. Now heres a question. Are all these arms street legal DOT approved? I would prefer an arm that I can use on and off the track.

 

[mopardude318]

I'm not too sure on DOT approved, BUT there are many people that have These A-arms on the street that have no problems...the ones I'd be scared of are CAP a-arms! haha...But I have tried both firmfeel and RMS uppers, they are high quality...theres nothing to be worried about....

i don't know of any after market arms that are "dot" approved. actually i think really the only "dot" stuff out there is brake hoses and things like that.

You will not see many, if any aftermarket suspension components that are DOT approved.

Im not really sure if I could use a non stock suspension component here in Canada. Any Canadians running aftermarket suspension on the street?

Really?? No trucks with lift kits or lowered trucks/cars?

On a side note......How's your healthcare system up there? Seems ours is changing whether we like it or not. Hijack alert!

There are lift kits Im sure. You make a good point but I'd like to see if there are any guys up here using it.
