    Anyone here using the Hotchkis trailing arms on their car? I have access to a used set somewhat reasonable and was just wondering if they were worth the expense and hassle.:confused:

    Keith,

    I installed a set of Hotchkis upper control arms (and braces) a few months ago but haven't had a chance to "test" them at the track. I did the swap to get the ability to adjust my pinion angle. They seem to be a very well built unit but adj. must be done 'off the car'. However, there is a simple formula included to dial them in for pinion angle before installation. It worked well for me. I have boxed lowers so didn't bother with those.

    The set I am looking at has the non-adjustable upper arms so I guess they would be a substitute for the factory boxed arms which I do not have. My car will see little track time but alot of street bruising so I was just wondering if they were worth it or if I should spend my money on something else I need.......:Do No:

    i would bec the car would hook up quicker vs spinning but the adj upper arms do work great for street and drag,boxed lower arms would not hurt either
