Anyone have any experience with Hotchkis suspension? I checked out their web site and they are working on a Lightning specific lowering/handling kit. Sounds very promising. New sway bars (hollow), rear leafs etc. I sent them an e-mail for specifics, no response yet.

I am looking to improve the overall handling. Cornering mainly. The factory rear suspension sucks. As a bonus I would like it to sit a little lower as well. Try and achieve a better weight balance.

It takes Hotchkis a few days to respond, but, I asked similar questions. They told me 60-90 days before the "full monty" is available. It will lower the front 1" and rear 2 inches (that is part of what I am looking for). They also said they were in the process of evaluating shocks for their system. I think alot of people are using shackles and springs without compensating for the impact it will have on the shocks.

I sold a 74 Z-28 to a friend who upgraded to Hotchkis. IMO they are all about quality and performance.

I am holding out for Hotckis for several reasons.

Thanks for the info. Sounds like this could be a good setup. http://www.hotchkis.net
