Default Introduction from Hotchkis

Hey everyone!

We just wanted to let everyone know that Hotchkis is now a sponsor on My350z! We'd like to take an active role in answering tech questions and sharing videos, install tips and product information. We aren't here to push sales, we just want to be a part of the community.

For those of you who are unfamiliar with our products, or who haven't seen our new products, I'd like to introduce our company.

If you haven't heard of us, Hotchkis is a sport suspension manufacturer based in Santa Fe Springs, California. The company was founded by former racecar driver John Hotchkis in 1993, and our primary business is engineering and building high-performance bolt-on suspension parts for muscle cars.

The company philosophy is to design bolt-on suspension parts for performance cars that are easy to install, don't require major modifications, and provide sports car handling. We engineer and track test every new part we produce before we make it available to the community.

If you have questions regarding suspension setup, tech, or products, even new product suggestions or gripes, just let me know. If I can't get you the answer, I'll find an engineer or fabricator who can. We'll also be periodically offering deals on here, and every once and a while we'll need a car for R&D that will end up with some new parts once we're done.

Anyway, just wanted to say hello. I hope to have some good conversations on here in the future.

I like the Hotchkis sway bars I've got on my '08, but how about selling a decent set of endlinks for them?

I have the TVS1 kit here. I am very satisfied with the quality and performance of the Hotchkis springs and sway bars.

And Welcome!

I use and love Hotchkis sways, great product.

How about some updated drop springs for the non coilover guys. Like something based off the 04.5 and new spring rates vs the one you have!!! Cobb is a good example, but they stopped making them.

Yes I agree ^^^, my car is put away for the winter and i'm currently looking for some springs. I'm definately interested in the springs your currently offering, but I wish they lowered the car abit more than the .6" and .8".

I would love a set of linear springs, that lower the car 1" all around and are alittle stiffer then the stock 05 springs.

Another satisfied of Hotchkis goods. Besides my differential, Hotchkis sway bars made a noticeable performance difference in my Z.
