I have stock rims and I'm thinking about lowering it 2 inches in the back and 1 1/2 in the front. What should i get to do it? How much? Certain name brand? Will the ride suck? Anything else I'm forgetting?
Thanks

Are you just doing springs or are you doing coilovers? I lowered mine 1.3 in front and 1.7 in rear! It's not slammed but there is no gap between my wheels and frame! I used H&R springs and I love the look and the way it handles! I'm going to add sway bars next!

Looks good man! Yes, that's how low I'd want it. Thinking springs. What do you suggest? Thanks

I have H&R springs I order from hot wheelz in Jax FL. They order springs and installed with 4 wheel alignment for 500.00 dollars! Great deal! # is 9046839391

I thought the SRT's had load leveling shocks that you have to replace when you lower your car? Nivomat's I believe they are called? That is the only thing keeping me from doing it on mine.

No, some of the R/Ts have the Nivomats. As far as I know none of the SRTs came with Nivomats. You should have Bilsteins on your car.

Ok so I have an R/T with a 6 spd factory 18's. I thought I should have the aforementioned nivomats but I got under the car today and they are labeled bilstein. Are the nivomats a subsidiary of bilstein? If not then can I throw my lowering springs on in the rear?

Nice looking, I am afraid to do so because our roads are not straight always especially in my home country.

Here are some pics of a SRT at a local dealer. It has the Mopar stage 1 coil spring kit on it.

That looks pretty good! Good stance!

It's just enough of a drop. I can stick one finger between the tire and fender
