Hotchkis TVS system
Recently migrated from a TRD/Tokico setup to a HotchkisTVS1/Tokico config. Very happy. I have always thought the TRD's where a very good compromise and still do for the daily driver. My concern with the Hotchkis was the spring rate and drop = ride comfort. I shouldn't have worried. The drop in my eyes is perfect, and the ride very acceptable. I would classify it as very slightly stiffer, but in a performance manner. The sways make a staggering difference. They seem to tighten up the front end, and improve an already outstanding handling vehicle. FYI, had the kit put on by Gilman Auto in Scarborough. The only issue that came up was that when the engine cradle was released, it also popped the seal on my K&N intake. Didn't notice this for a few days and got a CEL (lean) condition. Easy fix and mention as an fyi. If I had to do it all over again, I would go Hotchkis with Tokico first. But, it's easy to be conservative. :-) Hope this helps for those considering.

Hotchkis would be on my short list as well with Tein, but i'm tempted by the JIC Magic springs / shocks with the Hotchkis sways, rear camber links think that combo would be the best Although full Hotchkis TVS1 set up would be nice.
