Chrysler B & E Bodies like the Charger, Barracuda, Challenger, GTX and Superbird are icons of the muscle car era. Owners of these classic muscle machines have had to choose between poor 1960s handling and a new K-member using “Brand-F” technology – until now. The engineers and handling experts at Hotchkis Sport Suspension have developed a new bolt-on Tubular Upper A-Arm kit for Mopar B & E Bodies that corrects excessive caster gain, creates the proper negative camber curve and reduces bump steer. The result is dramatically improved handling, traction and road feel, all while preserving the classic Mopar soul.

These new A-Arms were designed to utilize your stock K-Member and use Mopar-style hardware enhanced with modern geometry and race-proven materials. The arms are constructed out of 1-1/8” high-strength steel tubing fully gusseted with laser cut reinforcement brackets and are TIG welded for maximum strength and durability. The kit includes pre-installed laser cut pick up point relocation brackets, fully-articulating rod ends and high quality ball joints. A lustrous nickel plated finish provides incredible shine and long-lasting protection.

During track testing the arms showed incredible gains on their own, but when paired with our new Sport Sway Bars and adjustable Strut Rod and Steering Rod kits, they totally transformed our Challenger and Charger test vehicles into modern canyon carvers. Hotchkis Tubular Upper A-Arms are available for the 1966-70 B-Body (Charger, GTX, Coronet, Road Runner, Satellite, etc.) and 1970-74 E-Body (Challenger & Barracuda). Like all Hotchkis Performance products, Geometry Corrected Mopar Tubular A-Arms are designed, built and punished in the USA.

I had the TVS suspension on my 1970 Chevelle. And I have to say it was an incredible transformation!!! Great JOB!!

Have to admit i like the idea of these guys having so much for old school mopars.

On that vid, donuts are for kids. You can do them with a $1000 POS

You want to sell PERFORMANCE SUSPENSION PARTS, how about some shots of that bad ass challenger on the track. Willowsprings maybe?

[Hotchkis]

You're absolutely right Manny. We shot the burnout vid as a lark, and it has been racking up serious hits on YouTube.

We're planning on proving how well the parts work at Buttonwillow and on the Autocross course. Things got a little delayed when the car lunched its stock 4-speed trans, but we just swapped in a new Tremec TKO, along with an aluminum radiator and racing seats. It will make its Autocross debut at Goodguys Pleasanton, and we'll be shooting plenty of video.

We also have a B-Body project that we built outside at a show in 2 days with Steve Strope from Pure Vision. It will be raffled off for Speedway Children's Charities at the 2010 Mopars at the Strip show. Watch for a step-by-step performance test in an upcoming issue of a major magazine.

Cool news and I can't wait to see the car in action. Let me know when the Buttonwillow date is as I'll come take some pictures.

Cheers and see you guys in a month,

Awesome. I can't wait to see what you guys bring to Pleasanton. Looks like May is going to be a good month.
