So if you go with coil overs you use the sport mode suspension adjustments? What happens with coil overs on if the sport mode is pressed, nothing?

Yeah, you must work at a Chrysler dealer...you have the wheels I really wanted when I bought mine. Besides that, your car and mine look pretty identical. I've been looking at tinting my windows, and after seeing yours..I'll look even harder now. I doubt I can get away with mine that dark around here. Looks great!

EDIT: Wait.....is yours a '12?!? Just noticed the wiring coming from your shocks..for Sport Mode I assume? Maybe that's why you have the different wheels! BTW, I'd lower mine too, but my front spoiler drags as I back down the driveway onto the street as it is..not bad, but if I lowered it more...

Yeah mines a 12. These wheels come on 11's too I thought. But I see some 12's with your wheels (we have one in our show room). IDK how I got these wheels...we dealer traded to this one and this is what was on it.

Yes that wire is for the sport mode shocks.

And my tint is 15% (legal in FL is 30%) but I have never been pulled over or even second looked by a cop but then again I drive with my windows down as much as I can when weather is nice.

Exclamation

a hour to install? looks like you need a coil spring compressor and alot more than an hour and quite a bit of expertise,coil spring compressing can be dangerous, and better left to the pros, the only reason im replying is to remind everybody that the members on this forum are all different skill levels of mechanics and some may not be mechanically inclined, and when you say it only took an hour, it oversimplifies a very involved job that you need to be very safety consious doing. not coming down on anyone, just trying to save someone a headache and safety concern, car looks awesome

Looks good! Took me exactly four hours with no help to do mine. From setting the lift, to putting the car back on the ground. I have a lift, spring compressor, and air tools at my house. I'm guessing using jacks would add an hour, and without air tools add two more......imo. I'm not a mechanic, but am mechanical and wasnt in a hurry. Just to give the non mechanics out there an idea on labor times.

Only 2mm....? Holy !!

What the hell are they sticking in the back of the 300 from the factory????

Seems like using any rear spring from a 300 would drop a Challenger down.....
Assuming that is supposed to be 2mm and not a 12mm
