Has anyone ever dealt with hotchkis? I've been in the market for some tubular UCA's for my 66 coronet and I came across their website and read on their excessive caster and corrected geometry design to correct bumpsteer,it sounded pretty convincing but at $770 are they really worth it? my other option is to run the RMS's does anyone here have experience with these? any input on bumpsteer and handling improvement would be really appreciated.
 
Well i haven,t used their products personally,but have seen many cars with their products on them...My sister has a 69 camaro(sorry guys) with their suspension...It handles like a slot car...Their products are well engineered and they do their homework...They may not be cheap but you get what you pay for...I,d buy their full line for my 67 GTX if I had the money...

You get what you pay for! I do have some of the products and very happy.
 
how about the RMS UCA's,do they cause bump steer? or any unwanted "side effects"?
 
I have them down as a possibility,I bought their dropped spindles and they look top notch,the quality of the machine work and over all design looks very very good,I just like the fact that hotchkis actually advertises their arms as an effort to reduce bumpsteer along with their heavy duty tie rods,and no one else even mentions it.
 
Both are very good vendors.I have used both of them and all their products are top notch !
 
If you call Hotchkis ask for Aron as he is the engineer that designed all the mopar stuff. Tell him Dust ya sent you.
 
I think your asking the wrong question - its not are they worth it but can I afford it - either company is gonna be a significant improvement over your stock uppers - I'd go with RMS if looking for a upgrade and use the other 400 $ to buy something else, Or go with magnum force and you can adjust the castor/camber without removing it and spend 300$ somewhere else, or just save until you can afford the whole hotchkis TVS package
