Exclamation Hotchkis TVS - Anyone have any experience?

Just wondering if anyone has any experience with the Hotchkis TVS. I want my car to handle better but I am not a huge road/track autocross builder. Is this worthwhile? Are the tubular control arms in the front probably more than I require?

I used the TVS system on my 68 442 convertible and love it! I do drive the car hard so I wanted an upgrade over stock,it lowered my car 1 inch and is a little harsh over bumps and on lousy roads but when you get it on a nice smooth road its awesome. You might want to think about a better steering box while your at it I went with the AGR. I also have Billstien shocks all around.

Hotchkis TVS w/ upper and lower control arms, Agr Gear box, strange S 60 rear end... All i can say is that it all went together like a dream and looks amazing, but my body is still off the chassis so I don't know how its going to drive

I use Hotchkis 1" lowering springs on my 442. Remember a 442 sat 7/8 of an inch lower than a cutlass. I could only find "Cutlass "stock" springs, so I didn't use stock. I don't have a Cutlass and you don't either.
