A Hotchkis Sway Bar For Trailblazers

Friday, October 19th, 2007

As a Trailblazer owner, I’m bummed about the lack of aftermarket support for this truck. Though there are millions of ‘em on the road, when it comes time to finding performance parts, it’s a tough sell. It’s nice to see Hotchkis addressing some of these needs with a new sway bar kit.

Ride of the Day: 2005 Mustang GT

Thursday, October 18th, 2007

If you’ve got a high performance blue-oval street machine, chances are it’s a Mustang. From the sixties ’till now they’ve been the yin to the Camaro’s yang. But with the Camaro absent from the scene for a while, Ford’s answering the call for muscle with the current body style, which folks like Joe from New […]
