Just Installed Hotchkis Race Suspension.....WOW!!! - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I just finished installing the Hotchkis Race suspension on my 2011. The inistall took me 5 hours to complete on my garage floor. The kit went on very easy, the only pain in the arse was the holes that had to be drilled inside the strut tower. The car rides and handles very well!!!

Whatcha think?

I'm not goint to lie, I started hearing a little bit of noise but it was all my doing. The rear links loosened and a bit of thread lock took care of that problem.
I have been chasing a small click for a few days and I found it today, again it was my doing. The front link (long one) had the jam nut a bit loose so I got that squared away.

I just came back from a test drive and now I am VERY PLEASED with the smooth no noise ride.

I will say this, put thread lock on every fastener to keep everything tight.
As far as the instructions go they are perfect, pics and all....very detailed!

GREAT PRODUCT!!!!

I would like to put some Hotchkis stickers on the car, do you guys have any?

Best thing you can do to your camaro. We recommend this setup to everyone we see at the track and shows. I personally run it on my own car and love it.

We have the the race pack. We have been auto crossing alot lately. My husband won the modified class at the fest, and last weekend I took home the fastest in the ladies class!!! suspension makes a world of difference!
