mopar lowering spring impressions

[pmpn8ez]

I have added the mopar lowering springs and LOVE EM.....

They are much more responsive now.....

Handle turns better...

Its not a "wave machine" in the dips anymore....

I have no rubbing with full turns in FWD or REV with the 22's.....

I had no bottoming out going over gigantic speed bumps at the grocery store.....

The ride is nowhere near as harsh as I thought it would be!!!! I remember what my lowered S10 was like and it was kidney jarring!!!!!

It has the same ride quality as what I remember the srt drove like in a test drive a few months ago....

I highly recommend this kit for those that are contemplating springs....

Here is a pic of the drop:

For those that do this and plan on installing the kit yourself.....PM me for details....

My friend and I did it different than the supplied instructions for the front.....

There is NO need to take the top linkage and top A-arm from the spindle apart and risk damaging the rubber boot.....

All you have to do is take the calipers off, use a pry bar to lower the lower control arm and the shock will slide right out!!!!!

The whole thing took about 3 to 4 hours with many breaks!!!!!

I will keep everyone updated on the life of the shocks with this kit VS the life expectency of the Eibach kit........

BTW, I purchased the springs for around 230ish shipped from Ted at moparsupercenter, a supporting vendor here....

He was very helpful with the purchase over the phone and shipped them extremely quick...

I highly recommend them for all mopar purchases!!!!!

Looking real nice.

If these are like most springs, just keep you eye on the front driver side fender after a few months. Depending on the amount of drop, when the springs begin to weaken a bit and settle in, the amount of travel will increase a little. In my case it was just enough to start the left front fender to bottom out on the front wheel.

Not too bad, but I just had to take it easy on some of the known dips in my normal route of travel.

I was looking into having the fenders roll but never did it yet. Still will do this one day. May even get the professional tool and do a few local cars.

Looks great dude. I am contemplating lowering my 300C with Mopars as well but i have 20s not 22s. I assume that would give me better clearance. Any thoughts?
Thanks

The clearance will depend on your tire size. You could have a 20" rim & tire set up with an overall diameter that is larger than a 22" wheel combo. The side walls determined by your tire size will play a factor in the clearence.

Of course. They are Nitto 255 45 20s.

This is why I went with the mopar springs.....

I figured in the break-in sag and currently there is enough room for it to settle.

It is a more mild drop of about 1" compared to the eibach etc at 1 1/4" and more.....
