If I wanted to noticably increase the handling and suspension of an '11 R/T would these set me up well for daily driving?

- Hop NOT
- Hotchkis sway bars
- Petty strut tower brace

You think it would be noticeable money well spent?

thanks for the input

Thats a good setup for sure!

One thing about the Strut Brace - if you are looking for the most functional one you do not want one that just bolts into the stock cross brace. Mopar has said that that was never designed as a brace, just something to hold the wiper cowl, PCM and wiper motor. For the most performance you want all your connections to be to the body of the car.

Just something to think about

Thanks Mikey.

are there more functional alternatives to the front strut brace you can recommend? I've seen back bars that go through the trunk - I'm not interested in that.

Does this look like something that would be good?

This is going to sound bias since it is the one I sell, but this is the front strut tower I would recommend:

Speedlogix - Strut Tower Brace 05-11 300, Challenger, Charger, Magnum

That fully replaces the cross brace and this has 4 body connection points. Made out of Chromoly as well.

Thanks
Mikey

FastCat your thinking about HopNot,:scratchhead: so the 2011's wheelhop also?

 

[Grinch_392]

The 2011 doesn't really have any upgrades over the 2010 cars for the R/T, pretty much the same suspension wise.

Any IRS car is most likely going to have wheel hop.

The only big changes are for the SRT and the SE. Since the 5.7 was replaced in 09 while the 3.5 and 6.1 were out for longer.

Even the suspension on the 392s are pretty similar to the older cars, only difference is the steering rack.

That's a really nice cross brace. It's on my wish list now.
