Chassis Max Handle Bars from Hotchkis are a critical component for any high-performance 1967-1969 Camaro or 68-74 Nova. First generation F-bodies use a subframe that can flex during hard cornering, altering suspension geometry and even alignment. Hotchkis has solved this problem by applying nature's strongest shape: the triangle. Handle Bars tie the control arms to each other and the firewall with high-strength tubing, CNC bent brackets and laser cut gussets for maximum strength and rigidity. The result is incredible handling and driver control that makes the most of your high performance suspension.

• Application Note: This current design may not fit some models equipped with LS motor conversions. We are currently developing a new cross bar for the LS conversion. Please check back with us on this design.

• May not fit on cars using stock upper control arms. Tubular upper control arms are suggested.

Starting April 2010. We have incorporated a adjustable top bar to increase adjustability and improve vehicle fitment due to manufacturing tolerance and condition of cars. The adjustable brace can also be installed on 68-74 Novas.

Features:

• Powder Coated Gloss Black Finish
• TIG Welded
• Fabricated from 1.5" x 3" .120 wall rectangular steel.
• Rigidly connects the front subframe to rear chassis frame rail, which dramatically reduces chassis flex during hard cornering and acceleration.
• Does not require cutting or modifying the floor.
• Front is optional weld or bolt-on. Allows for front subframe removal if needed.
• Tucked-in design gives excellent ground clearance.

Benefits:

• Improves vehicle handling.
• Improves vehicle traction.
• Reduced chassis flex.

Chassis Max Handle Bars from Hotchkis are a critical component for any high-performance 1970-81 Camaro. The second generation F-Body subframe can flex during hard cornering, altering suspension geometry, tire contact patch and alignment.

Like most modern muscle cars, the new 2010 Camaro suffers from significant chassis flex and wheel hop. Under hard acceleration, the stock rear subframe moves quite a bit, reducing traction and stability. Installing a Hotchkis Sport Suspension Chassis Max Brace reduces chassis flex and improves traction during hard launches and high-speed cornering by triangulating the rear sub frame to the chassis frame rails. Manufactured from strong, lightweight elliptical aluminum tubing and mated to laser cut, CNC machined aluminum brackets, the system bolts on in minutes. The Chassis Max Brace has excellent ground clearance and fits with most aftermarket exhaust systems. Finished in durable anthracite powdercoated, the Chassis Max is a must have for any modern Camaro.
