Re: Hotchkis 4/6 full kit
Yes I have personal experience with their springs. The truck handled like it was on rails without being harsh if that makes sense. Top notch stuff man. There's a reason they are proud of it. I cant even imagine their TVS kit.

Re: Hotchkis 4/6 full kit
I only wish my budget would allow this kit... I drooled over it for along time before I decided for me to be able to complete my truck within my lifetime I had to settle for something Much less... If your budget can handle this I would highly recommend that you get it... Hotchkiss is the Rolls Royce of suspension...

Re: Hotchkis 4/6 full kit
Hey Everyone. Thanks for all of the compliments about our products. We really are proud of our C10 suspension and love to see the looks on people's faces when they see a pickup truck keep up with or pass a modern sports car.
Original-71 is right to ask what you plan on using the truck for. If you are just looking for a lowered stance on a truck you only plan to cruise around on the streets, then maybe the full TVS kit is more than you need. But if you are looking to create a truck that you can take to autocross events and track days or on curvy back roads and have complete confidence and control over your truck, then the TVS is really what you want to look at. Not only does it lower the truck and stiffen the ride, but it also gives you the proper suspension geometry for the trucks lower stance and the adjustability you need to really dial in the handling. Check out this video that shows you how comprehensive this kit really is: |

Re: Hotchkis 4/6 full kit
Not so much on the track but more of a street driver. That being said I do want the truck to handle we'll have good control of it with out a very stiff ride. Our road in south Texas are rough and I don't want to be beat to death by a super stiff suspension.
