Differences between Bilstein and Hotchkis/Bilstein shocks?

[evan]

What are the functional differences between Bilstein and Hotchkis/Bilstein shocks that are designed for the same application?

For example:
HSS-70010001 $90.95

BSN-F4B360949HO $61.95

I believe the Hotchkis Bilsteins are revalved by Hotchkis to be a perfect match for their TVS (Total Vehicle Suspension) system.

Exactly what Bandit said - a little more aggressive valving by Hotchkis. When they arrive, they are yellow and blue Bilsteins in factory boxes with just a little Hotchkis sticker on them. Marcus and SC&C recommended then over the regular Bilsteins, and I was able to find them for only $2 more per shock at www.performancecenter.com.

FYI
We used them on my wife's 73 Camaro, and they are great on the street. But we found them lacking for autocross, on corner entry the car would "flop" over on the springs, and had excessive roll. Just a little too soft but consider that the car has race rubber and forces are higher than a street car would have. On an open track day the car wasn't as bad, I guess corner entry was not as noticeable as autocrossing.

I know shocks don't control roll directly, but they change the timing of roll force delivery to the springs and anti-roll bars. The car did roll a lot less after the shock change.

Do you mean from stock to these, or from these to your next upgrade?
