Hotchkis suspension - anyone use this setup

[fowens]

Has any one used this setup? If so, pros or cons? Also, is there an alternative?

I really just want a setup that is good to drive around town and mainly for cruising. I, of course, want to be able to put my foot into it now and then.

Yes sir, love it!! I have a post on here with pictures. I did it in spring of 2013 and just got all the bugs out of everything else this year. (brakes, wiring, anti freeze leaks ect. ect.) I have driven over 2000 miles this summer and it is awesome. I drove 4 hours to carlisle, 2 hours to syracuse nats and entered the auto cross events at both places. I went back to my 323 rear gears and I can cruise at 75 mph with 1 finger on steering wheel. I have had this car 34 years and it has never been this fun to drive. My wife and I drove it to a winery yesterday and to cooperstown ny for lunch on the lake and shes not really a car person. The only negatives are minor. The bushings do squeek when you push the suspension up and down, but don't notice while driving much. It lowers the car a couple inches so when you back out of a driveway and turn the wheel sharp, my front tires will scrub if I am not careful. Check out my post from 2013 and post any questions you have.

I have the TVS on my first gen Charger and love it. I have over a year of daily driving on it and love it. The car has been down for the last getting upgrades to the brakes, rims tires, and a rebuilt motor with complete exhaust and hopefully power steering. I used plenty of the assembly lube and my suspension only squeaks on the ones that I didn't get enough lube on. I still had the 14" tires on and could push it hard enough in the coroners that the side walls would roll over and rub on the tie rod ends (heim with the kit) and I had to back it off. I upped my torsion bars also and really enjoy how the car drives and handles.

Good to hear all the comments.

I'm welding up my front sway bar brackets on my lca's soon. My 66 net did not have sways oe installed.

Will be doing rears after. Those should be easy.

I'm only doing front and rear sways at the moment. Keeping all else stock cept adding Wilwood disc brakes up front. Rears will still be drum drum drum drum drum...
