Has anyone installed the complete Hotchkis suspension kit for 67-69's. I was wondering how noticable the handling had changed and how the overall stance of the car looks when finshed (with the 2" drop coils and the 1 1/2" drop leafs). For $917.00, I don't know if it would be worth it. Thanks for any info.

Quite a few members here, including myself, have that suspension system. There is a night and day diffeence in handling and performance. You can achieve the same result with other manufacturers systems, but the Hotchkis package already has performance "matched" parts.

Check out my car for an idea of how the kit affects stance:

Thanks for the reply choptop. Have you experienced any rubbing with the 265's on the back and what size rims are you running with backspacing if you have the info. Thanks
