    Hotchkis rear suspension
    « on: June 11, 2014 - 02:20:36 PM »
    Just installed the Hotchkis TVS on my '70 Barracuda, sits low, handles well. But, put anyone in the back seat and it bottoms out the shocks. What can I do to fix this problem?
    Any suggestion would be appreciated.

    Shorter shocks? Also watch out for the pinion snubber bottoming out.
