Keeps all components rigidly in place around hard corners when vehicle weight shifts, and eliminates chassis and suspension subframe flex that rob your vehicle of handling, tire grip, and proper alignment.


Features:


- Reinforced steel tubes secure control arms, shock towers, and firewall rigidly together in place
- Prevents vehicle’s natural tendency of flex in suspension subframe and chassis during hard cornering
- Improves stability, driver control, and handling by maintaining proper suspension geometry, alignment and tire grip
- Cross member bar across engine bay is adjustable to account for variations in OEM manufacturing tolerances, suspension sag, and vehicle condition
- Perfect final addition for any street machine, pro-touring car, autocross or road race
- Durable powder coat finish resists corrosion, scratches, oily contaminants, and discoloration under extreme temperatures
- Laser-cut triangular metal brackets add torsional rigidity to tube bars
- Easy, bolt-on installation to A-Arm bolts and to the firewall fender attachment points
- 3-year manufacturer warranty
- Manufactured in the United States


Classic and even modern performance cars exhibit tendencies to flex in their chassis and suspension as vehicle body weight shifts during hard cornering. This skews otherwise-perfect wheel alignment into wheel angles that cause unexpected and erratic steering response. It also causes tires that would otherwise remain planted flat against the pavement to lift up at the edges – reducing the size of the contact patch where the rubber meets the road. If you’ve ever spun out unexpectedly from a loss of grip or had to slow down in the corners to avoid a spin, you know how much time body and suspension flex cost you. Hotchkis offers the Chassis Max Handle Bars to brace the front end of your vehicle structurally and improve stability, driver control, and handling by maintaining proper suspension geometry. Handle Bar tubes consist of two braces that secure control arms and shock towers to firewall structural beams. A cross member bar bolts between the two sides to further beef up stiffness and rigidity when it’s most needed.


Handle bar tubes are joined by a Tungsten Gas Insert (TIG) welding process that provides clean, even welds that provide an even, consistent level of bonding strength on all areas – eliminating inconsistencies which create weak points and areas prone to metal fatigue or failure. An outer finish of durable powder coat is applied to ensure peeling, discoloration, and deterioration from high underhood temperatures are eliminated – while providing effective long term corrosion protection. Hotchkis builds all components in the United States, and backs them against failure due to manufacturing defects for three years.
