This WRTV video of the Motorsports Parts Manufacturers Council features a name that anyone who knows anything about performance suspension will know: Hotchkis. Hotchkis Sport Suspension delivers a quality suspension that ensures improved stability, handling and overall ride quality. In order to makes sure each high quality component lives up to Hotchkis' vigorous standards, the suspensions are brutally tested on the Hotchkis 14 turn race course, 600 foot slalom and 200 foot skid pad. Any part that does not meet the strict standards held by Hotchkis engineers is sent back to be reconfigured to comply with specifications. Hotchkis manufactures shocks, sway bars, trailing arms, springs, end links and anything else one could think of in the realm of performance suspension. Not only do Hotchkis components perform well, but they are also offered in a variety of finishes that perfectly compliment the theme of your ride.
Finishes include powdercoating, anodized colors and silver/zinc/gold cad plating.
One common occurrence in the automotive world is poor performance due to components from several different manufacturers being used on a car's suspension. This is eliminated with the Hotchkis Total Vehicle System that uses components that were designed to work together to deliver the ultimate in ride and performance.
If you think Hotchkis is a one trick pony as far as the type of vehicles they cater to you would be wrong. Hotchkis makes complete suspension kits for everything from imports (European and Asian) to vintage muscle cars to Sport Utility Vehicles and trucks. As John Hotchkis, President of Hotchkis Suspension relates, they have a new assortment of products available for 2008 including the sway bar and spring package for the Volkswagen Jetta Mark V, GTI and GLI. Also included in the new array of parts are A arms for the Chevrolet Camaro and Nova of the late 1960's as well as other vintage muscle cars. Also in the works is a kit for the new BMW 3 Series coupe and sedan so be sure to stay current on what Hotchkis is cranking out in case your ride needs a dose of performance. Enjoy.
