Review 1 of 1 , from Rockford, MN, USA

Year / Model Reviewed:
 1981 Elcamino

Strengths:
High quality parts. Very strong, they get the job done. Nice durable powder coat finish. The stability these parts add to the rear suspention helps cornering as well as launching.

Weaknesses:
Costs alot.

Summary:
I only bought the lower arms. To save $$ I boxed my original upper arms with 1/4" steel. I also raised the rear mounting points for the upper arms 2.5". This setup works great! There is no more wheel hop, and fairly good traction, for an Elcamino with 500 cubic inches. With slicks, it launches straight and hard! If you have the money, get the whole kit. If not the lower arms are a good starting point.

Similar Products Used:
Compared to the stock spagetti arms, Hotchkis offers a 500% improvement! It's like a whole different car. I also installed the hotchkis tubular upper A arms in front, with full size GM spindles to get a negative camber curve. Great parts, I reccommend them.
