Hotchkis stamp on DSE springs?

[JustinB]

Just got my new Big Block 2" lowering spring from DSE and found a hotchkis stamp on the coils. Is hotchkis making the springs for DSE or is DSE selling the Hotckis springs under their name?

More than likely. And possibly the sway bar. Hell, I think Hotchkis makes the sway bars for GM trucks too. It happens a lot, actually. Summit doesn't make their brand products. My Summit rear end cover has LPW cast into it.

I do not believe that Hotchkis manufactures their own springs. I don't believe that they make their own sway bars, either. They generally have their components made for them, and to the best of my knowledge, they don't reveal their sources either.

Most likely the springs are made by the same subcontractor. I know Hotchkis has their own antiroll bar bender but does not make coil springs.
