Need a Car

Hello everyone.

My name is Wes and I am the R&D manager at Hotchkis Performance in Southern California. We are looking for a 300C to test our springs and sway bars on. If you are interested please give me a call or email me.

Thanks,

Wes

Thanks AF, I've wanted to drop my car for awhile but hesitated because of some of the issues posted, including front fascia scraping even when not lowered, which I too have experienced . The Mopar springs, at 1" don't seem worth the effort and the Eibach's and H&R's at 1.6" and greater might be too much. I figured I'd just wait till I wear out my tires then do everything at once when I stumbled upon this thread this morning.

Hotchkis says their setup is a 1.25" drop on the Magnum so these should fall somewhere in the middle... and of course, I'll keep you all posted!

You've got balls, ahem, guts Hemeee, go for it, stock seems to ride pretty stiff to me and I can't imagine this will help. I am really hoping it's the awful self seal Contis and not the suspension. Keep us posted.

LOL, yeah, so I've been told before .
I actually find the ride kinda floaty, but remember this comes from someone who has driven Corvettes for the past 16 years. I suspect that will be remedied by changing the springs.

I didn't find the ride 'floaty' until about 110 on the track, about 3' off the wall. I wasn't looking at the speedo, passenger advised of mph. I really hope it is the tires.

Arrow It's a DATE...

It's official!!
My car is going to Hotchkis Performance for the R&D project Monday night and I should have it back by Wednesday... I'll see what I can do to get them to take pics since I won't be there for the install (far away).
