Patrick...there's a shop near my house on Hwy 53 and Upper Ottawa called Focus Rims and Performance and they originally quoted me $650 for the shocks and struts kit but ive dropped alot of money there before so im sure they wont have a problem knocking off $50 from the price...dang $1100 bucks in your area..that's outrageous...PM if you ever want to hook up while your here in Hamilton and ill show you where this place is...
Thanks man I appreciate it. I will be lowering it this summer. Let me know what you think of the kit and also how much it actually lowers the car. Everyone keeps saying it will settle lower then the originally stated drop.....
At first I installed the sportline with the stock shocks and it road like s**t. The front would dive and bottom out, and i could feel every bump and crack in the road.
I then ordered the damper kit and sways and it made a HUGE difference. I think it rides just as good as stock, if not better.
so you got the sway bars put in too eh? seen them around while i was looking at the Pro Dampers but didnt think they make that much of a difference...do you think it's a necessity to have them installed with the shocks and struts? and also i wanted to ask...no more noises at all...like i notice with my car everytime i crank the wheels full turn, i hear clunks and pops coming from what seems to be the struts up front and just the noise in the back is annoying as hell...

Yeah I ordered the dampers and sways at the same time so when thay arrived i just installed everything at once.
I didn't like the ride at all with stock shocks and struts, the front felt like i had the v6 springs. If i hit a bump hard it would dive and bottom out. And i could feel every little bump and crack in the road.
You don't have to put the sways now or at all if you like the way it rides with just the dampers, but i like the way it rides with every thing.
As for noise i don't have eny noises from the front or rear. I also left all the isolators in.
i got pro-damper and prokits.but take out prokits cos it to low for me.replace to mopar spring now.but front prodamper i change back to org one.cos when i over the bump.it make me crazy.i dont like.but rear shock i keep use it.cos my org shock is auto leveling.
thanks for the advice, its a big help to me...where im from there arent many modified 300's on the road so it's hard for me to find out what the best route to take when i go to change something...here in my city, the pro-damper is going for $600 (CDN) so to drop that kind of dough plus the install is a pretty big thing to do if your not to sure of the outcome but judging by your experience and knowledge i think it's just what my car needs to ride better....love the stance and the rake the sportlines give but not crazy at all about the ride quality on stock components...
