Subject: DML:Thank god for Hotchkiss
Well, here is my small story of accident avoidance. Today traveling up a
street in Seattle a woman in a black lowered honda(doesn,t deserve upper
case) decided to pull out in front of me at her stop sign. I am 25-30 feet
away .No time to honk horn !!!!! or Brake!!!.You just need to
avoid!!!!!.Made
a immediate very hard left turn and swerved over to the oncoming lane 2
lanes
over and recovered back to the right to escape parked cars.This suspension
is
unreal.This is the first time I had really put it to the ultimate test in
real time.The suspension worked extremely well and recovered very fast.Sway
bars bit in very quickly and eleminated any sense of losing control.You
never
when something like this is going to happen.If this had been a stock
suspension I would have killed her because she still continued to come
across
the street making me turn ever tighter. Thanks to Hotchkiss and Gary Pinkley
for a really great kit.What,s a 1000.00 when your life is at stake.Stereos
are great but "give me my Hotchkiss".
