    Default potential hotchkis lead

    I am sure most of you are on Facebook but for those that aren't theres a guy (danny chavez) that is arranging a hotchkis group buy for pretty much anything hotchkis. He needs about 20 guys for assorted things to make this work. I am just relaying the message because I myself may be interested so don't bother asking me any questions.

    Pretty sure Hotchkis told another member here (steven1zinoc I believe) that no matter how many people we get for a group buy, they will NOT produce anything for these trucks.

    Yep that's exactly what they told me but I did get them to make a few more sway bar kits because they had some of the components. I'm following the FB group buy just to see what happens. I didn't want to shoot them down there though. And this guy Danny is a dealer supposedly so maybe for a dealer they will do it.

    He must have some sort of hook up. The guy had seven sets of swaybar's for sale also. I bought one of them so it better be legit.

    Well I had about 20 people interested and was willing to prepay for all the sets but they still said no but maybe they have changed their minds on it.

    If you find any Hotchkis anything available. Better grab it.

    I bought my sway bars last summer directly form Hocthkis because No Dealers had them in stock. At the time I ordered mine I think they said they still had 5 sets in stock. Within a week another member tried buying a set and they were sold out.

    I recently bought a complete Hotchkis setup, complete with new bushings, bilsteins, and extra front sway bar for less than the cost of an M1.

    I got 2 different front sways. 1 is the original solid sway and the other is hollow. I may sell the solid one....or I might add it to my slowly growing parts hoard.

    I bought one of the very last sets, and ordered through Jegs after confirming with Hotchkis that they had some left. I paid $601 shipped. Hotchkis wanted over $700 ordering from them direct.
