Bags although look very cool when lowered and parked. There is always the chance you can blow a hose to one corner and be dragging. It happened to one of the 300 that drove to DUB show. If I had a total show car like 22Elite's is I would have bags on it. Meaning a garage-queen. I have SRT's and with a more performance set up in the SRT I will never bag those. Maybe bags if I had a C or down.

Eibach is a good product but not a perfect marriage to the LX. I now several members who had them and went to KW and have been very pleased.

Hotchkis makes a good set up for the 300C. Ask HEMEEE she is running there system on her 300C.

Although the KW is a pricey system. The concensus here on the forums is that it is the preferred set up for the LX. So much so that the 300 and Charger SRT race cars are running the KW system. DCX seems to like there system as well. That should tell you something.

There are 2 set up the:

KW V1 (Only lets you control ride height/drop).

KW V2 (Will control ride height/drop and rebound). For only a few hundred $$ more than the V1. The V2 is the preffered one.

The KW also let's you change the set up for various application's.

1/4 mile, road courses, etc. It lets you dial it in for each application.

From the looks of it I guess just lowering springs alone is not the route to go.

By "BEST" do you mean disregarding price?
KW Coilovers are my choice for performance.
UAS air bags would be the best for showing.

The best way to lower the car with a minimal amount of cash is to give a ride to four fat chicks. That works kinda opposite than the air bags; when you park it and they all get out, the car rises back up.

And remember that Mopar now carries the coil over V1 made by KW, with blue springs!

I have yet to read a post on the Eibach springs/dampeners being installed together as a package. What I have read a lot on is Eibach's springs being install with non-matching stock dampeners (including myself) and that not working well or for very long. It seems like Eibach has gotten a bad reputation more for misapplication of their springs than any fault of the springs themselves although they certainly have not tried to discourage it and if memory serves me they actually say that their springs work with factory shocks.

They may have the marketing strategy that you will choose them because you don't have to fork out money for new dampeners but figure you'll be back shortly for new dampeners once the factor ones wear out. If that is their strategy I think it has backfired because people have associated the Eibach springs with not working and go for a different brand.

From what I've seen KW markets the set (springs and dampeners) together and they are spec'd correctly and therefore work correctly. I have not priced a complete set of Eibach springs and dampeners so I don't know if the set is any cheaper that the KW's.

I am particularly sensitive to this issue because I knew that Eibach made replacement dampeners when I bought their springs and figured that if the stock dampeners failed I had a backup plan. When I tried to buy their replacements dampeners I found out they only fit the 2WD even though they make springs for both AWD and 2WD. Another bit of information that was conveniently absent from their advertisements.

From what I've experienced and read you will probably be happier with the KW's and with a little research you might find out that if you compare apples to apples there may not be that much price difference.
