What do you think? Suspension.
 

ok Guys, what do you think of this combination. It's going in a 69 camaro convertibel 454. Hotckins TVS System, Global West upper and lower control arms,QAI Shocks. will I ride smooth and hanlde well?

Have you looked at the g-bar from ca.

never heard of it

Look into it....Its very nice and one of the best setups I've seen up close and personal. I have not used the tvs system but if you do a search you should find some info.

it is the same as the airbar without the airbags

looks great, but it's not in the budjet. YET!

So anyway, what do you think of the combination. Also will I have any problems with the hotchin front sway bar and the global west control arms?

The TVS springs and bars should be fine. GW arms are nice and you`ll get better bushings and a little more + caster. No real geometry change though so gains there will be very small. I`d suggest either doing some version of the G mod,running our tall ball joints with the GM arms or one of our StreetComp ball joint/adj. upper arm packages. AFX tall spindles would also do the trick very nicely. BTW the more you improve the front suspension geometry the less you need (or want) a huge "bandaid" front swaybar. In our experience (customer cars and our own) QA1 shocks can be a little spotty. We`ve had problems with leaking,bushings and inconsistent adj. settings. For a few more bucks you can upgrade to Alston Varishock QS1 16way adj. shocks. Overall quality is much better and the adj. are very reliable and repeatable. Mark SC&C

We just started selling Hotchkis in December and sold a bunch of TVS set ups. So far everyone has been real happy. We just did a 69 Camaro convertible with the full TVS kit and it was sweet. For the money you cannot beat it. The Hotchkis shock is also very nice, especially for the money on a tight budget. You will spend a couple hundred less then QA1s, but give up the adjustability.

Today, in the shop, I have a 67 Chevelle getting a TVS system and aftermarket upper and lower arms. I am doing a install story and driving test before and after as this was a nice driving rebuilt, urethane bushing car before we dismembered it. I will have the story up in a couple weeks.

I am a big fan of the TVS kit on a budget.
