Swapping in stiffer front torsion bars is one of the most effective ways your classic can be upgraded to modern car handling, and Hotchkis offers the Forged Torsion Bar set to make doing so extremely easy. If you’ve ever dealt with a torsion bar that snapped or didn’t perform the way it should after a larger, heavier engine swap, you’ll appreciate how the solid one-piece forged construction of these torsion bars yields greater strength and twisting resistance than OEM-spec equipment. So if you are tired of brake dive, wallowing around curves, undulating over rough roads, and bottoming out too easily, the Forged Torsion Bar set will replace those woes with flat cornering, neutral handling that’s predictable, and a ride that’s taut yet comfortable. Hotchkis proudly builds all components in the United States, and backs them with a 3-year warranty against failure due to manufacturing defects.
Founded in Santa Fe Springs, California in the late 1960s during the height of the original muscle car boom, Hotchkis® got its start building products that blessed GM, Mopar, and Ford performance cars with new abilities to corner and handle with stability at racetrack speeds. As the company's reputation for building quality products grew, Hotchkis components soon found their way onto all kinds of vehicles that were not made to go fast in any way, shape, or form. It didn't take long before station wagons, convertibles, and pickup trucks were wheeling around tracks all over Southern California with the tenacity of sports cars. After decades of developing suspension-enhancing products that have led to victories in championship racing events, slalom track competitions, and street challenges, Hotchkis has refined and perfected their manufacturing techniques to become the internationally respected company they are today.
