Update Your Musclecar's Suspension with Hotchkis Sway Bars
Suspension design, engineering, and technology have come a long way since the 1960s and ‘70s when some of our favorite musclecars were designed and built. Just about any modern econobox can run circles around a classic musclecar with an OEM suspension, even one that has been totally rebuilt. That’s embarrassing.
A good way to begin remedying that problem is with a set of Hotchkis Sway Bars. The bars help control chassis movement and reduce body roll when cornering or playing on a twisty road. The bars come with polyurethane bushings and hardware. Hotchkis recommends getting front and rear bars for optimum results.
Hotchkis Sway Bars are part of the company’s Total Vehicle System (TVS). With TVS, you can upgrade your suspension a piece at a time as your budget allows, or you can buy a complete kit and do the whole shebang at once. This article on Summit Racing’s OnAllCylinders blog will explain the thinking behind the TVS system.
Summit Racing carries Hotchkis Sway Bars, TVS kits, and TVS suspension components for many popular vehicles including:
