Eric, I'm not saying its a big problem for daily driving - other than being careful over speed bumps, inclines, etc. It won't make much difference in handling.

I'm just saying that to get a real performance increase, cornering at high speed - just doing stiffer springs may decrease performance. I will wait until shocks and a camber kit are available.

Picked up KW coilovers with adjustable height and damping, very nice ride, firm, follows the road and no more float.

different shock question

My 2005 300C rides just about the way I want it (totally stock, under 5000 miles), but I notice that on big swells or bumps at speed, the rear seems to settle a bit more than the front. With one or two people it is very noticable, no extra weight in the trunk. Everything stock.

I have asked my dealer if the Dodge Charger rear shocks might be just a little firmer and settle this down somewhat.

Anyone here know the different shock values for the seemingly infinite Charger variations?

Really am looking for slightly firmer rears, they are shocks instead of struts...right?

Hi-Had the Eibach Pro kit installed in my '06 HemiC the other day. Immediately noticed when going over a bump a semi Banging or chattering sound from the spring area front and rear. What could this be and how can the symptom be remidied? Thanks for any info. Car looks really cool and rides good, but the noise hmmmm.
