Nervous about Hotchkis tvs and Lee gear box
I was nervous the new suspension would rattle the nuts and bolts out of my old cutlass convertible but I gotta tell you I LOVE IT
The lee box makes it feel like a new car
The Hotchkis steering rebuild kit is crisp
The TVS makes it all come together
highly reccomended

I just installed a Hotchkis suspension on my buddy's 69 S convert. It lowered the car about an inch and it sits evenly at all four corners. It actually handles very well with this setup. Very pleased. I got mine in a kit from Summit. About 1600 bucks I believe.

That's good to hear, many of you guys are watching me build the 64 F-85 pro-touring ride under "major builds and projects" I'm in the process of installing a complete Hotchkis suspension, B-spindle disc brake upgrade, QA-1 shocks, and a Moser 9 inch. Hope mine turns out like yours great job!

There's no reason to think it won't come out exactly as above. I have the anti sway bars on mine along with KYB shocks. That right there is enough to make the car flat around a corner at driving speed. Instead of the gm A body lean we are all familiar with. The front bar is over an inch in diameter and the back is beefed as well.
