The full Hotchkis TVS suspension system.  I was going to buy a Firm Feel box also, but the other cars needed their suspension upgrades as well and the piggy bank ran dry.  Now, to find the time to start bolting all of it on...

myk, I am happy to hear you got the tvs, let us know what you think!


You already have the full TVS installed, right?  With just shocks and sway bars the car is so flat and rock steady in its handling I can only DREAM of what those other Hotchkis pieces will do.

Sadly not much, I did order me a set of scorpion lifters (johnson lifters) today from jegs. Been planning on doing a new set of lifters and some new rocker arm adjusters for awhile but it's been working good so haven't really made it a priority. Have really missed my car lately!!!! It has been raining here almost everyday for two weeks and it is just crappy and muddy all around my house and I don't have a paved or concrete driveway so if my charger moves out of the shop it's in the mud basically. Just don't like driving it out all the nastiness of the wet winter time weather!!! Will be glad when it stop's raining for a day or so!!!!! :yesnod:

Myk, I did not get the whole TVS system. I mixed and matched firm feel and hotchkis components. It is a different car and such an increased pleasure to drive. Once I did the entire suspension I was still on the old 15" wheels and bfg's. There was a considerable difference but once I changed the wheels and tires it was a new car. It went from drunken elephant to corner carver. I could not be happier with the results!  Can't wait to hear your updates!
