Don't lie My wifes SUV handled better than my 300c. However, new shoes have definitely helped! Sway-bars may be in my future.

You should be able to pick an SRT take off suspension for $400 or less.Then whatever your install costs are.It is not difficult and with some basic tools and a spring compressor can be done in a few hours.

Is the SRT suspension compatible with the 5.7C?

I have quick one....

If you swap to the srt8 suspension, will the springs auto adjust?

I have a heavy sub box in the back and it has kind of lowered it with my stock C suspension already.....

I dont want it to jack up even higher if I swap...

Anyone with an srt8 suspension and a sub box?

Yes the SRT suspension uses the Nivomat loadleveling shocks in the rear.

I just completed the SRT Take off suspension swap on my C. I got it from John Hennessey at Hennessey performance. 350.00 plus shipping, came quick. Had it installed in about a hour. Definate improvement in the handling.
