We have Eibach springs in stock now for Chrysler 300 and 300C. We usually ship orders the same day and can deliver to most of the country in 2-3 business days.
Felix;
I am currently running 20" rims on my 300c. I know there are people who run 22's. With 22's there is a nut from the coil/springs that MAY rub against the tires.
If I install the Eibach lowering kit, would I run into the issues of tires hitting the same nut?
Also what other suspension mods are available other than springs? I would like to quicken my steering and greatly reduce the body roll.
thanks

We have installed many sets of 20's and 22's on 300's. We have never run into a problem with this mythical nut. As long as you are using a wheel with the proper width and offset you should never have a problem with the 300 platform.
Eibach lowering kits are designed to fit perfectly with no modification to your car. At this time there are not too many options for suspension modification. The Eibach springs will be a great way to start building up your suspension by reducing body roll and increasing stability.
I thought I read on this forum that the bolt is attached to a bar that moves up and down with the wheel... meaning that it is a fixed distance from the center of the wheel. Chances of rubbing only occur when you replace with a wheel tire package that is larger in overall diameter than stock - you actually make your tire closer to the bolt by using a larger diameter. In other words, lowering the vehicle would have no impact on the distance of the bolt from the tire. Can you confirm? This may put SF's mind at ease... if he has enought clearance now, he would retain that same clearance.
I've had my car for about a week and run 265/35/22 pirellis with 22" 9.5 TIS 03's with the 15mm offset and notice no difference in the distance of the bolt from the tire after putting on the eibach pro kit. I believe the one member who actually made contact with this bolt was running 265/35/22 that were 8 wide making them balloon quite a bit.
I think the eibach kit is an incredible mod and think as a sponsor you could do a lot to alleviate concerns about the notorious bolt.

Well put djjasond. The nut is in a fixed position. The only way it will rub on anything is if you use the wrong size tire or an improper wheel.
Make sure the tires you are using are no more than 29 inches in diameter. Using a wide tire on a narrow rim will cause the tire to ballon and sit taller than it was intended to. Call us if you have any questions or need more information on your custom set up.
The Eibach kit is designed to bolt on with out modification.
whats up man i am running the exact same set up as you and i haven't even lowered my car yet and my rims are already rubbing. i bought the eibach springs and i took it to a shop and he said he wouldn't do it because the nut would hit the tire if i lowered it. what do i do? i am running 265/35/22 with 22" x 9.5 echelon rims. can you help me out with this? the guy at the shop said i need to buy airbags for my car.
