Whats the best way to get better cornering in a Stock R/T auto. She just seems a little squirely around curves and corners.

 

[vtodd]

i put the mopar lower springs on mine, seemed to help a bit. still want more... there are a few kits out there such as peddars and eibach that have complete solutions to better handling.

 

[1sickR/T]

I know Pedders kits claim above 1 g on the skidpad with stock tires, and say it can do better with better tires (obviously). However, it can set you back around $2700 for everything.

Eibach Pro Kit (Springs and Shocks) was a great improvement for my R/T auto for daily street and weekend track use. Much better highway cornering and eliminated the "floaty" feeling.

 

[Chally77]

how much was the eibach kit.

2700 is a huge cost.

Swaybars are a very cost-effective solution - various suppliers (Hotchkis, Eichbach, Stack and Mopar Performance) have kits.

The other thing is going to SRT spec Bilstein shocks in addition to sway bars if you want more suspension damping from the shocks.

The 'standard' R/T (non Super Track Pack) and SRT use the same sway bars front and rear - they're on the softer side and don't provide as much roll stability...I went with the Hotchkis set - largest/stiffest bars offered (in addition to Stack) over the other suppliers.

for just the spring and sway bars your looking at around 650.

Eibach Springs : EPS Application Look-up | suspensions | springs | dampers | stabilizers | shocks | sway bars | anti-roll bars | wheel spacer | coil over | engine valves

They have different levels of performance.

the 2700 is quite a bit. It does comes with bushings, coil overs (shocks and springs), sway bars. They have cheapers kits as well.

Eibach with just better spring sway and getting better shocks will help dramatically. also you should look into bushings since they bushing that come with the 08-10 challengers are very mushy (same with the sway bars).

To the OP here are my suggestions but remember that once you change 1 part you have additional things to do. Let's put together your grocery list then you can research and decide... this list is what is on my car.

1. coil over shocks from Petty's Garage which I have on my car
Petty's Garage LX Adjustable Coilover Suspension - Petty Challenger
2. sway bars I went with Stack Performance Chubby Pro
3. Adjustable end links also from Stack Performance
Suspension: Stack Performance - SRT and Mopar Specialists
4. front strut tower brace for the SRT
Petty SRT Strut Tower Brace - Petty Challenger
5. rear strut brace
Rear Shock Tower Brace - Petty Challenger
6. razors edge bump steer kit
Chassis & Suspension

Now you have a list of 3 places to purchase anything that I have listed best of luck and I hope this helps

Hotchkis tvs, about $500-$600. Sways springs and shocks are the bigs though.

Chally77,

By far the best bang is to put in an SRT8 Challenger suspension. They can be found here on a regular basis for 350-400 or for about 100.00 more you can get the suspension from moparsupercenter.com Thats springs, rear shocks, and front struts.

This a high performance Bilstein setup. I'll say it again by far the best mod on the car except maybe for my CMR Diablo tune.

FYI,
Marion

might consider:

-Mopar Coil-over suspension (KW variant 1).
-Mopar Sway Bars
-Mopar Front and Rear Strut tower Brace
-sticky tires 275/40ZR20 (square setup) (NT05 or Pzero)

:thumbsup:

The extra camber from the coilovers helps alot and doesn't seem to effect tire wear

I put a set of the Hotchkiss sway bars and the stage one hopNot kit on my 2010 R/T,5.7 six speed, and the results are amazing. This car is my daily driver and I did not want to compromise the ride quality too much,but man did it transform the handling of the car.The entry into corners is fantastic and the car plants itself quickly.The tires are now the limiting factor for me.

In the 2011 Mopar online cataloge I discovered there is a SE and R/T suspension upgrade kit available.

Part number P5155435

It is retail $550 and includes the SRT Bilstein shocks and struts, SRT springs and isolators. I was told when I called Mopar tech that the kit will lower the car about 1" to the SRT stance.
A much cheaper alternative to other kits.
This kit has been on my car for several months now and I LOVE IT.
A big improvement to say the least.
Along with the Mopar strut tower brace I am completely satisfied with the handling of my R/T now.

 

[OA-5600]

I got a nice deal on a Pedders Track 2 Package, but installation still comes at a fairly high price.

The handling improvement was impressive.

A few months later I added the Mopar front strut brace. I noticed less body roll on turns, so consider some strut brace in your handling upgrade.

 

[PinkPanther]

I'm surprised no one has mentioned the old autocrosser trick of simply putting more air in the tires. The higher air pressure stops the sidewall from rolling over as much. Suggest you experiment starting at about 40 PSI cold and then increase or decrease until things feel right to you.
I am much happier with my R/T Classic at 36 PSI on the stock wheels than 32 PSI recommended.

 

[Sarlacc]

Because of a deal I could not pass on, I run the SMS suspension. springs/shocks and adjustable sways.

The difference is night and day. I have to be a little more careful because of the lower ride, but the increase in handling is downright amazing. And the car still retains a great level of comfort.

As soon as I get my car back from Stack Performance I will also be rocking their new 3rd member X-Brace.
