I would like get the Hotchkis suspension package for my 72 camaro, I wonder if anybody has them on his ride..

I appreciate if pictures are posted because I really would like to see how the car looks like?

I am really concerned about the height because I do have long tube headers, and they are going to sit too low if the car is lowered too much..

currently I have stock front springs on my car..

Thanks

Talk to David and Mary Pozzi. They track her car too. I have it on my '77, but it's not exactly driveable yet, so I can't give first hand info on it.

Can I contact them via email? I wonder if you know their email address.

You can send them a PM if you'd like. As far as I know, they love the setup.

It's a very good kit as far as handling goes, what are your plans for the car?
The front height is OK but our headers have scraped a few times. The only thing I don't like is, the rear is a tad low compared to the front. A lot depends on rear tire size compared to the front.
Also when any leafs like Hotchkis or Global West are installed the pinion angle changes. I had to add 8 degrees of shims to the rear axle which lowered the rear even more.

Thanks for the reply. Actually the suspension in my car is totally stock. That's why I wanted to get something that handles better than stock with less body roll.

I don't know how it will look in my car. I do have 17x8 wheels with 245/45 tires. Also, I have long tube headers which always sit lower than the shorties..

I wanted to see some pics of how Hotchkis Suspension would look on 70-73 camaros

Thanks David
