Is anyone interested in some Hotchkis ARBs?

Post by Ben_r1 » Wed Dec 11, 2019 7:35 pm

Imported and fitted a brand new set of Hotchkis ARBs from America this summer at a cost of £830 but to be honest with my KW v3s and the pace I drive ( mostly plodding down the motorway ) I don’t feel I see enough improvement to keep them.

If nobody is interested I’ll keep them, but happy to remove and sell to someone who’d get more use out of them?

Less than 1000 miles use, brand new when fitted and still have original packaging and instructions etc. Would let them go for £500 if you can collect?

Thanks.

IMHO, you'd probably regret getting rid. I don't do many B road twisties either but my commute does include a number of fast dual carriageway roundabouts and long sweepers; I'd definitely miss the extra stability & tautness in the fast turns that the Hotchkis arb's give you. Unless I was really in need of the £'s, I'd be keeping mine fitted.
GLWS though if that's the way go :thumbs:

I only use the car on sunny weekends and always take the kids with me, the wife forbids any hooliganism with them present so I’m definitely not getting the benefit!

Steve, if you want these mate, I am more than happy. I'm not planning on fitting them for 6 months or so as looking at box rebuild etc first, so not going to get any use from them. I'm sure when it's time to put my car back on the road i'll be able to source another set.

If you want them, go for it :-)

Huh? You've still got these fs? Thought you'd got two members almost fighting over them lol.
Maybe a distance thing.
