Default Is anyone using the newest Hotchkis control arms for second gen camaros?

Hi,

I've been looking at Hotchkis new control arms for second gen camaros and was wondering if anyone here is using them? If so, can you give some feedback as to how well they work and if anything had to be modified to install them?


Thanks in advance
Paul

Default Mary Pozzi's second gen video



Mary Pozzi uses the Hotchkis control arms for second gen camaros, and she can tell you about her car better than I can.

They fit and do what they are supposed to do. They also have shims below the coil to adjust ride height which is nice.

Dave,

If you or Mary could post up some pics of the installed control arms here, I'd bet you guys might just help hotchkis sell another set of em' or 2. I know that I'm not the only one here who's interested in seeing them on a second gen camaro.


Thanks for any additional info you can provide
Paul

Hi Paul,

Just got back from the Pleasanton Good Guys Show and another successful Autocross adventure. Hope to get the car out of the trailer and up on the hoist to do a serious nut/bolt check before winter hibernation. I'll take a few pictures so you can see the arms.

I'm running 1.25 degrees negative camber and 6.5 degrees positive caster without a ton of shims. Unless your car has some frame issues, these alignment readings are quite achievable. Very happy with these arms ...

I'll post the pictures here and look for them in a couple of days. Still fighting that nasty cold (been over a week now) but will try to get the car out tomorrow and inside the shop.

Cheers,
Mary Pozzi
