About Hotchkis Sports Suspension

At Hotchkis Sport Suspension, we’ve spent decades turning “pretty good” handling into “no way” cornering. Led by John Hotchkis and the team of suspension fanatics, we design, engineer, and build high-quality parts that are strong, reliable, and proven on everything from weekend cruisers to national champions.

Our suspension systems control some of the fastest street machines in the country—cars that dominate road racing, drag strips, and autocross events. And when we say “control,” we mean precision, stability, and handling that makes your car feel like it’s reading your mind.

For drivers who demand more than “just fine,” our engineering team has crafted suspension upgrades that transform your driving experience. We’re talking razor-sharp response, improved stability, and a comfortable ride—because performance shouldn’t require a chiropractor.

Here’s our secret weapon: we’re our own customers. The majority of our staff’s personal rides are rocking Hotchkis gear. If we wouldn’t run it on our cars, it doesn’t leave our shop. That’s how we’ve built a reputation for making great cars even better—without turning them into bone-shakers.

With over 30 years of racing experience engineered into every product, Hotchkis Sport Suspension delivers excellent driving performance you can live with every day. Street or track, stock or wild, we’ve got you covered.

Hotchkis Sport Suspension — Making a Great Car Even Better… and Way More Fun.

All Hotchkis suspension components go through an extensive development process that starts with the latest in computer-aided design, modeling, and engineering and ends with real world performance testing.  Every Hotchkis component undergoes testing on our 600 ft. slalom, 200 ft. skid pad, and 14-turn Autocross course. Results from the ¼ mile acceleration and 60 to 0 mph braking tests are compiled. Complete data for stock and Hotchkis Sport Suspension equipped vehicles is gathered and evaluated. Performance gains are documented and any component not meeting our engineer’s rigid standards of fit and performance are critiqued, redesigned, and retested.

Today’s vehicles are designed and engineered with extremely tight tolerances. Our engineer’s measure and then design with state-of-the-art CAD systems to ensure that our suspension upgrades operate in their intended locations away from existing suspension and exhaust components. We strive to produce performance suspension that installs with little or no vehicle
modifications.

Not only are Hotchkis Sport Suspension components engineered to fit properly, they are finished in appropriate great looking durable finishes including gloss powdercoating bright polish, colorful anodizing, silver zinc and gold cad. plating. We understand that our customers are not only concerned with improved handling; they are also fanatics about excellent looking suspension products.

The Hotchkis Total Vehicle System (TVS) is a complete handling solution for your vehicle.  Available as a Stage 1 or Stage 2 package, Hotchkis TVS kits are designed to deliver the maximum handling from your ride and make choosing the right parts for the job a breeze.  No more mixing and matching parts – with a TVS suspension package every component is designed to complement the others and will work right the first time.  These tuned suspension packages eliminate the poor ride quality and disappointing handling that often results from the use of mismatched components from multiple manufacturers.
