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.
