Hotchkis TVS Stage 2 Front Suspension )Kit for GM Hardbody (1971-1972 Big Block)

The Hotchkis TVS Stage 2 Front Suspension Kit starts with 1.5-inch diameter, 0.120-inch wall thickness tubular control arms, a solid foundation for improved handling. This kit is designed for 1971-1972 GM Hardbody Big Block vehicles, including popular models like the Chevrolet Chevelle, Pontiac GTO, and Buick Skylark. It’s a comprehensive package aimed at transforming your classic muscle car’s cornering ability and overall road feel, making it more responsive and stable during spirited driving or everyday cruising.

This Stage 2 kit goes beyond basic upgrades, incorporating heavy-duty upper and lower control arms, a front sway bar, and performance springs. The tubular control arms are built for strength and reduced flex, helping to maintain precise suspension geometry under load. The included front sway bar is engineered to reduce body roll, keeping the car flatter through turns and providing a more connected feel to the road. Paired with the performance springs, which are tuned to work with the rest of the components, this kit offers a noticeable improvement in both handling precision and ride comfort for its performance level.

When undertaking a suspension overhaul of this magnitude, it’s important to consider that this kit is designed to work as a complete system. The goal is to provide a balanced and predictable handling experience. While installation involves replacing multiple key suspension components, the kit is designed for a direct fit on the specified GM Hardbody platforms, simplifying the process for those familiar with classic car suspension work. This kit represents a significant step towards achieving a more capable and enjoyable driving experience from your vintage GM vehicle.
