hey guys. i have a 2007 chrysler with 20K miles. Its a daily driver. IM always alone in the car, never passengers. on occassions my girls (6yrs, and 11months). so there isnt a weight issue in my. i want to lower it and was wondering if i can do the eibach springs alone and what you reccomend. im on 22" and was thinking of lowering the front a little more than the rear. please give me some advice.
Man, its a bit complicated..... off the top of my head, but yes you can use just Eibach coils to lower the car. I think the only issue was using the stock shocks.. if you do, they have been known to fail fairly quickly since you just changed the travel and are basically at that point using the wrong shock for your new lowered car. I think Eibach sells a lower kit with the coils and new shock for pretty cheap, but some have done it with the coils alone and had no real issue for over a year with the shocks. I would get the kit..
As far as lowering the front more than the back... I like the rake look like it came from the factory, so when I had my KW V2 coilovers installed, I kept the rake and set the front about .5-1 inch lower than the back. No issues there. I would, as usual, recommend you get the fenders rolled if you lower it. Probably never have an issue with your tire contacting the fenderwell lip, but only takes once to ruin your day and it is cheap insurance.
Plenty!!!!!! of lowering spring combos on this forum in the suspension section.. feel free to dearch in there, or maybe someone with a bit more time can put up some links

I started with Eibach but got rid of those with in a few month. I have KW V2's they are by far the best and that was 75,000 miles ago. I have almost 78,500 now.
I have Eibach's pro-kit with 22" staggered wheels and stock shocks. Rides a little rough, but I'm used to it now.
I don't think you'll need to lower the front anymore. At least with mine i didn't need to. I like the very very little to non raked look. Mine has a slight rake.

springs are not something that I would skimp on, as lower quality springs will tend to sag over time.
We over 2 different front coils, and 5 different rear coils for the 300 LX Suspension Parts - Wretched Motorsports
I would strongly recomend replacing the springs with the shocks at the same time, not only will your ride me much improved, but it will handle better.
The Pedders Touring Kit comes with 4 Springs, 4 Shocks, and the Bump Steer Correction Kit all in one package.
