I have an 06 touring. Passenger side sits 1/2" lower. Is that normal? Thanks in advance.

Actually, I've heard many times that it is normal because it is compensating for you sitting in your driver's seat. Once you are in there, it equals out.

Anyone wanna back me up?

I am not positive, but I think all the 300 models, except the SRT8, have the same height measurements. Per the factory specs, all the 300's have 5 1/2" ground clearance, and the SRT8 has 5 ".

Here are the stock measurements of my car before I changed to coilovers.
The measurement is from the ground to the highest point in the curve of the fender.
Note the left rear is 1/8" higher than the right rear. Rumor has it that this is by design to accommodate for the weight of the driver.

FL 30 1/2".......FR 30 1/2"
RL 31 1/8".......RR 31"

You know what I noticed this on my 300C. I have 22's and my car is lowered but I too have noticed that on the passenger side I can't really put my hand between the tire and the fender but on the driver side I can. Is your ride stock?

I just changed my stock wheels and tires last week and measured before and after and I noticed that there was 1/2 inch difference. I had the dealer replace the stock springs with the 1" Mopar Lowering Springs right after I got the car. I was going to ask them the next time it goes in for a service.

My driver side rear is almost 3/4 of an inch higher then the passenger side. When I put my springs in is it going to look like this still? It looks stupid.

I don't know the history on my car, but when I bought it there were already 22's on it and it may be lowered...not sure. The springs don't look aftermarket. It sits 29.5 all around except the driver's front which is 30". Kinda strange.

Mine sits three quarters lower also. I will be bringing it to the dealer next week. Has anyone figured out what the problem is?
