Need Help (Eibach Pro Kit)

[Donny_b]

Hello Everyone. This is my first thread, but I've been lurking around for a while. I recently lowered my wife's 300C with the Eibach Pro kit. The rear was lowered a bit but the front was lowered noticibly (sp). Anyway, the ride is not great. It seems the shock is bottoming out very easily. My wife now hates the car and blames me, and I can't blame her. Is there something I can do to remedy this? I over in Iraq at the moment so I can't do anything until I get home in August. I never had problems with the pro kit before on my other cars. Thanks......db

Well, when I first installed my Eibachs way back when, I actually liked the change in ride. I felt that it handled better. It wasn't untill about 4-6 months after having the kit that I started to feel the ride quality deteriorate. I have since gone w/ the KW V2s and now the ride is

Hey Donny B. Read through this thread. It was posted by our in house mod guru and my mentor. Meister.

KW V2 impressions and settings

After many members have gone with several different suspension systems, for there LX's. Eibach, H&R, Hotchkis, etc. Most have since chaged to the KW V2's system and have been very pleased since installing them.

The KW's are the system for our LX's. Gives you the ability to dial in the system for many different applications. Like 1/4 mile track, road course, etc.

I went with the KW's from day one and have been very pleased with this system. Chrysler and Dodge seem to like the KW so much as well they run them on there Charger and 300 race cars.

In my opinion the KW's are slightly stiffer than stock. So the ride is not smoother.

But the ride is better in two ways.
Handling is much much better on twisty roads.
The shock/bounce transmitted to the cabin from bumps/holes is shorter and less pronounced. With the stock suspension my wife would complain about being tossed/bounced out of her seat. No longer with KW's.
