Hey guys,
Does anyone have experience with the Hotchkis TVS suspension system?

I was looking at combining this with the Speedtech UCA and LCA's. Overall ride is a big aspect that I do not want to sacrifice.

I'm not a big Hotchkis fan, but the front springs and swaybar are pretty good.

There's some talk of it here, when I asked about it

I think I will be using it. I'm not enough of a suspension designer to match up the components better than Hotchkis.

I have essentially the same components on my Camaro minus the rear sway bar. FYI according to suspension guys on this site who are much more knowledgeable than me you don't want to use the rear sway bar in a TVS kit if the TVS kit is the only suspension changes you are making.

I've got hotchkis
- front sway bar
- front springs
- rear springs
- revalved bilstien shocks

and energy suspension bushings.

It sounds like you are worried about a harsh or stiff ride and while opinions on that are very subjective I think mine rides very comfortable. I've had non car people comment on how nice it rides. Between the suspension and seats I have it's more comfortable to ride in that my g/f's civic when we do road trips by a large margin.
