| Yeah, if you want adjustability, I'd go for coil-overs, BUT you'll pay alot more for parts, if you wanna do just springs, it'd be cheaper, but no adjustability. I have the Eibach Sportlines as well, they are pretty good, and a good ride, nothing TOO rough at all, I've installed those too on a Challenger, I've installed Drop Zones on a Charger and they are a little more of a drop, pretty low, I've installed Pedders kits, they are a subtle drop, as well as two full SRT swaps on Shawn's and Okie's cars, a nice sublte drop. If you have a grip front end, SRT or Pedders is probably a good choice in my opinion, or even coil-overs, BUT you'll pay a little bit more. I'd also maybe think about putting you're stock front clip back on if you're gonna be driving during the winter, just so you don't have to re-paint or even replace it, you know these Chicago winters and the lovely job the guys who plow do LoL
If you decide, let me know and we can get-er-done | |

| Go with the srt set up. You can find on Lx for a good price. Anything else will be to low with the Grip fascia. | |

If you decide, let me know and we can get-er-done yea i dont think ill be able to afford coil overs. ill be checking out a couple forums to see if these things pop up . im in no big hurry since i know how fucked up the winter can be and i can no way afford new paint either. As soon as I get what i need ill hit u up! | |

I havent, but I believe a few people have. I'm pretty sure Jontoad and Liljoe have, and maybe Ghost and Tom might have. | |

| Im interested as well about the sway bars. Im not looking to take it on a track or anything. I just hate the feeling when i go around a curve. Id just like to stay flat rather than roll | |

| I replaced Jontoad's and Liljoe's. The fronts are no problem. the rears are tricky to get in, but I've done so many, I know how to work it LoL I also have a Pedders sway bar on the front and it TOTALLY helped in my opinion in normal driving and the time I autocrossed it. It "ties it all together" | |

| I read a review on how to put the front in and it looked like it was almost just plug and play really. The rear did look a little more difficult. Said that you had to jack the car up and put the rails on stands then unbolt the rear cradle to lower the rearend?
I have worked on the old Mopars all my life, pulling engines, dropping trans ect. I have done everything on the old ones, but these new Mopars do Intimidate me a little. I wish they had auto manuals out for chargers like they do for all the old cars. | |
