Hotchkis Performance

<h3>About Hotchkis Performance</h3><p>Few names carry as much weight in the performance suspension world as <strong>Hotchkis Sport Suspension</strong>. Built on a foundation of real-world testing and motorsport-proven engineering, Hotchkis has spent over three decades developing suspension systems that sharpen handling, tighten cornering response, and transform ordinary vehicles into precision-handling machines — without sacrificing daily-driver comfort.</p><p>Hotchkis designs and manufactures a comprehensive range of suspension components, from individual bolt-in pieces to complete Total Vehicle Systems (TVS) kits. Their catalog spans classic American muscle cars, modern muscle platforms, trucks and SUVs, and even JDM sport compacts and European performance cars. Whether you&apos;re building a dedicated track weapon or simply want a street car that corners like it means it, Hotchkis has engineered a solution.</p><h3>Engineering Philosophy</h3><p>Every Hotchkis product is designed and track-tested in-house, with a focus on vehicle-specific fitment and real performance gains. Components are engineered to work together as a system, which is why Hotchkis TVS kits — combining fabricated A-arms, trailing arms, sport springs, tubular sway bars, and Hotchkis-tuned shocks — are so highly regarded. Drivers across road racing, drag racing, autocross, and spirited street use rely on Hotchkis to deliver measurable improvements in handling balance and grip.</p><h3>Top Hotchkis Product Categories</h3><p>At the heart of the Hotchkis lineup are their legendary <a href="/323-hotchkis-performance-suspension-stabilizer-bar-assembly-7620">Suspension Stabilizer Bar Assemblies</a>. These hollow, CNC-bent sway bars are available for a massive range of vehicles and are engineered to dramatically reduce body roll in corners, with multi-position adjustability on many applications letting you fine-tune roll stiffness for street or track use.</p><p>For classic muscle cars running leaf-spring rear suspensions, Hotchkis offers a purpose-built selection of <a href="/323-hotchkis-performance-leaf-spring-7544">Leaf Springs</a>. These performance-tuned multi-leaf springs lower ride height while improving traction and launch control — a favorite upgrade for F-Body, A-Body, and B-Body builds alike.</p><p>Unibody chassis flex is one of the most overlooked enemies of handling performance, and Hotchkis tackles it head-on with their <a href="/323-hotchkis-performance-suspension-subframe-connector-15383">Suspension Subframe Connectors</a>. Fabricated from heavy-gauge steel tubing, these connectors tie the front and rear frame rails together, significantly stiffening the chassis and improving steering response, ride quality, and structural longevity.</p><p>Rounding out the chassis stiffening arsenal are Hotchkis <a href="/323-hotchkis-performance-shock-tower-brace-14831">Shock Tower Braces</a>. Designed for both classic and modern muscle platforms, these braces — including the well-known Chassis Max line — reduce strut and shock tower flex under hard cornering, keeping suspension geometry consistent and maximizing the benefit of every other handling upgrade on the car.</p><h3>Who Should Consider Hotchkis?</h3><ul style="list-style:disc"><li>Classic muscle car enthusiasts restoring or upgrading GM A-Body, F-Body, B-Body, and Mopar platforms</li><li>Modern muscle owners looking for bolt-in handling improvements on Camaro, Mustang, and Challenger</li><li>Truck and SUV owners wanting reduced body roll and improved towing stability</li><li>Sport compact and JDM enthusiasts building for autocross or track days</li><li>Anyone who wants factory-quality fitment with measurable performance gains</li></ul>

Product Details

The Hotchkis Performance Trailing Arm Mount Braces are engineered to reinforce the upper cross member on 1968-1972 GM A-Body vehicles, providing essential structural support for high-performance applications. High horsepower builds can stress and potentially bend or break the factory upper frame cross member, compromising both safety and handling performance.

Key Features:

  • TIG-welded construction for maximum strength and durability
  • Adjustable design to accommodate various chassis configurations
  • Durable black powder coat finish for corrosion resistance
  • Simple bolt-in installation with included Grade 8 hardware
  • Direct fit for 1968-1972 GM A-Body platform (Chevelle, GTO, Cutlass, Skylark)

This is an essential upgrade for any high-horsepower A-Body build, drag racing application, or aggressive street car. The braces effectively distribute stress loads across the frame structure, preventing chassis flex and maintaining proper rear suspension geometry under hard acceleration. Hardware kit included for complete installation.

Title

Hotchkis Sport Suspension T Arm Mount Braces 68-72 GM A Body

The tailgate liner I received for my 2001 Toyota Tacoma was shipped fast and received in perfect condition. It fit my tailgate perfectly and covered the top rail. In fact it exactly matched the original liner that was installed in 2001 but had accidentally been damaged. I had given up trying to find a new one until I saw this one from Autoplicity.

Product was as I ordered. Price was very fair. Delivery was on time and as specified

Fast and easy and very much affordable love how the car handles and drives now that it has a little kick to it

Best prices I've ever seen! I didn't install the parts yet so it's hard to comment on the quality yet.

great fast ordering

I was very pleased with the product. The prices are very reasonable and shipping was extremely fast. I would definitely use their service again.

Good fast delivery

Smooth !!!!

great pricing and received my purchase quickly. the box was a bit torn up, but the contents were fine.

Lowest price I can find! Sent tracking number via FedEx without trouble! Would recommend!

I'm a stickler for finding the best prices on my purchases, while also making sure that the products I buy are legit and not some cheapo knock-offs.<br>I did my homework on the Clutch Stage 2 kit I wanted for my Spec V and found that Autoplicity had the best price anywhere, even a spot where I had 10% off came out to be more expensive.<br><br>I received my Clutch Stage 2 clutch kit pretty quickly (about 1 week) and everything was as expected.<br><br>Overall I would rate Autoplicity a perfect 10, although I did not have to contact their customer service or initiate a return, so the '10' would be on product selection, communication, website experience, and overall feeling that I got the best deal out there.<br><br>Thanks!

Ordered a Simpson helmet on Monday afternoon, received tracking on Monday evening and will have the product on Wednesday! Quick service! Also would like to mention that the price was the lowest of anywhere I looked up.

Autoplicity had the lowest price online for the product I needed. I will definitely buy from them again.

Very easy. I hope shipping is the same.

Great website and the ordering was easy too. I like the way they show the full price including shipping and tax. Got the confirmation immediately and the shipment notification the next business day. <br>

Very easy to order on line and excellent communication, very good price.
