AWD Lowering?

What is the most aggressive kit I can get? I would like to keep it as cheap as possible, but all I am really seeing is the eibach kit with a 1.5 and 1.7 inch drop. The AWD just sits way to high, has anyone used a different kit with like a 2 inch drop? Ive searched and searched and all I can find is the eibach kit. I dont want to spend $1200 on the KWV2's or whatever they are. So what have all you AWD owners done about this. Also, I will be getting 22's with the 35 series tire, will that fill the wheel well up more after those are on? And if anyone has any pics of their AWD lowered, post em up. I would like it to be about the height of the SRT8 stock. Is the 1.5 and 1.7 inch drop what Im looking for for that kind of setup? It just doesnt seem like that much of a difference, less than 2 inches.

Hi, I also have a 300C AWD and want to lower also, I am waiting for a friend here on L.I., N.Y. (Distinct Motor Sports) to try them on his SRT and if he thinks they are good I will put them on my car. Universal Air Suspension (Zack) is the one that I hooked up with Distinct Motor-Sport, for what I read , they are the best

The universal air suspension is even more than the KW V2's, and I said I dont even want to spend that much on a kit. Something around the price of eibach or lower. Anyone got any other options for me? I want it to be about the height of an srt8. Is a 1.5 and 1.7 inch enough to give it that look?

You can go with a manual fill option for $750.

I had the Eibach kit on my AWD. It looked great. This was with 20" Toyo's and it scraped the ground only on the ocassional back road dip and not bad. With this I do not know how much lower you could go. The car was dramatically different look with the springs. I think for the couple hundred bucks it is well worth it. BTW they are for sale on ebay. Only have a month of use. Priced right.

I kick myself in the ass that I did not take photos, but I was so excited with the new SRT8 I did not do it. I will say it looked like it sat lower than my SRT.

Just wanted to add, it looked nothing like the photos in the other posts. It looked like a regular car which was drivable in real world New England Roads.

So it was a noticable difference with the drop. I want it to eliminate the fender gap. This was the 1.5" and 1.7" drop right? The way you described it, sounds like its exactly what Im looking for. How much did you get it for and how much was it for the install?

How does the Universal Air kit do in the winter? Living in Alaska I have to worry about months of sub-freezing weather. Just worried about the condensation in the tank and lines turning to ice and causing problems of breakages.
