Classic and even modern performance cars exhibit tendencies to flex in their chassis and suspension as vehicle body weight shifts during hard cornering. This skews otherwise-perfect wheel alignment into wheel angles that cause unexpected and erratic steering response. It also causes tires that would otherwise remain planted flat against the pavement to lift up at the edges – reducing the size of the contact patch where the rubber meets the road. If you’ve ever spun out unexpectedly from a loss of grip or had to slow down in the corners to avoid a spin, you know how much time body and suspension flex cost you. Hotchkis offers the Chassis Max Handle Bars to brace the front end of your vehicle structurally and improve stability, driver control, and handling by maintaining proper suspension geometry. Handle Bar tubes consist of two braces that secure control arms and shock towers to firewall structural beams. A cross member bar bolts between the two sides to further beef up stiffness and rigidity when it’s most needed.

Handle bar tubes are joined by a Tungsten Gas Insert (TIG) welding process that provides clean, even welds that provide an even, consistent level of bonding strength on all areas – eliminating inconsistencies which create weak points and areas prone to metal fatigue or failure. An outer finish of durable powder coat is applied to ensure peeling, discoloration, and deterioration from high underhood temperatures are eliminated – while providing effective long term corrosion protection. Hotchkis builds all components in the United States, and backs them against failure due to manufacturing defects for three years.

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.
