Smile SRT8 Charger Suspension Swap on 300C

Today I finally did the SRT8 Charger Suspension Swap on 300C and all I could say is wow.....I noticed a real difference as soon as I left the suspension shop....a lot tighter and firmer….I did the whole thing struts and shocks and springs ….I also used some Pedders Bushings front lower strut bush as they were really worn and my strut was hitting the control arm….both front….and added some Michelin Primacy MXV4 on all four and wheel alignment…car rides awesome…..now just waiting for some Pedders front sway bar end links…..
P.S. I also think that the Charger set up is the firmest on the LX platform but correct me if I'm wrong....

Bought the srt8 charger suspension from e-bay seller Cleveland Pick-A-Part for $450 and paid $400 for the install which included the bushing install...
also the Michelin Primacy MXV4 were $622 and the install with road force balance and 4 wheel alignment $170..total $1642....

direct swap replacement ....just be careful not to get the magnum srt8 set up as the rear spring sit too high....or just get different springs
