Hey,

Anyone know of any drop spring kits out there for the 2009 R/T's? Just curious...

Thanx,

I've heard that Eibach has a kit, but not sure of the drop or spring rates.

The suspension is basically identical to the Magnum/ Charger/ 300 platforms, so you should be able to just install any setups that are listed for those vehicles.

We just installed a complete bolt-on air suspension kit that was listed for the Charger, and it installed without any modifications, so a simple spring swap should be the same. Good luck!

Hey Phil new to the forum and just saw your post re lowering the Challenger...We are building a car for SEMA can I get more info on what kit you did on your car? Would like to see more pics of you car as well.

Thanks MB

I need to get a few more posts under my belt before I can post a link, but there are photos of the buildup on our company's MySpace page...

I'll try to answer some more questions so I can post up the link!

Quick description for you, though:

two three gallon aluminum air tanks and two air compressors mounted in the fix-a-flat well (formerly known as the spare tire well!) on a piece of MDF that was carpeted to match the trunk.
ALL of the wiring and air lines were routed through factory body grommets- this kit requires ZERO cutting or drilling onto our precious Challengers!!

As soon as I'm able, I'll post a link to the kit on our shop's website- it's about $1700 for a complete setup the same as we have on our car.

Please let me know if you have any other questions- I'd like to help dispel any rumors about air suspension!!

Thanks,

I checked out the vids you have posted on the site, send me some pics when you can ..... something with a little detail.

We are building this car for our booth at SEMA so I want something different.

Thanks
MB

Mopar lowering springs will give it a slight drop. About the same height as the SRT.

Get a set of adjustable coil overs that way you have a full range of adjustment so you can change from street driving to road course with the turn of a nob. They are so easy to adjust now a days its worth the extra money.

Ya the springs eibach is putting on mine can drop anywhere from about 1.5 to like 3 inches I think, but dont hold me on that.

GEN-X I can't wait to see some pictures of that car of yours.

I should be getting a picture of it with wheels relativelly soon.
