Hotchkis suspension
Is hotchkis a good brand? Found a total suspension overhaul kit. Everything except shocks. this a good brand? reputable? worth the 1300 bucks?

I have everything Hotchkis sells, except for the springs. And I'm replacing my Granatellis with them. Also have a Spohn torque arm. You get what you pay for, and imo Hotchkis is the best. The car handles like a go cart (well, close lol). So much more fun to drive. I've never heard of a Hotchkis part breaking.

hotchkis makes great products and the kit will cover many things that you'll end up doing over the years, go for it.
I have their lowering springs (awesome) and STB (nice piece). I could not believe how well my car handled after putting their springs on.

I am really happy with my springs. I think their STB is primarily for show, but I still got one anyway and is a very nice piece.
Sooner or later, I am going full Hotchkis suspension.
PS The springs are a PITA if you are doing them yourself.
Do some research.

oh man, you're kidding? the springs were a piece of cake. The rears took about 15 minutes each, and the fronts, took about an hour. I did not compress the springs myself though, I took it (the whole strut assembly) to a local good year who did it in about 20 minutes for $25...much safer that way.
