Lowering Springs

Rely trying to figure out what the best springs to go with I'm really sick of the huge gap between the rear wheels and quarter panel gap. I have a 2015 392 scat pack shaker. Any pics or ideas would be helpful, just don't know where to start...

Car looks real good, but a full inch on MOPAR stage ones?

I wouldn't put stage ones on my 392. I have them on my '13 and I'm very annoyed at the minuscule amount of a drop I ended up with in the rear. Front looks good and came down about 5/8 but the rear BARELY hit 3/8. And the rear had more of the gap then the front to begin with. I purposely went with them because I didn't want the slammed look but it still has to much gap for my likings. I'm actually, over the winter, doing coil overs, just not sure what brand.


The first pic is post rear, then post front, then a full post shot, then a before.

Just keep in mind you'll get different drops on different trim cars.

I also am preparing to lower my 2014 (mostly in effort to reduce the rear wheel gap) and intend to use the Mopar Stage 1 springs. Attached are several photos I have collected over the past year of other forum member's vehicles during my research process. The first has the Eibach Pro springs, and all others the Mopar Stage 1 springs.

As mentioned, the drop will be vehicle dependent. Manufacturers often pair specific springs to specific applications depending on the engine, transmission, and additional options (suspension selection, a/c vs non-a/c, etc.) to achieve the desired ride height and quality. The ride height of a V6 Challenger will differ from a V8 Challenger, and a basic R/T from a STP-equipped R/T when the same aftermarket spring is installed because of the differences in basic weight and original factory suspension configuration differences.

Also, be sure to include the spring rate into your research. A certain spring may provide the desired ride height, but prove of poor (harsh) ride quality from excessive spring rate. While this often results in improved handling, the harsh ride quality can become rather dissatisfying over time. Good luck with your project.

Not much, it would not be worth doing.

I do not have the super Track Pack, I got the Springs for 60 bucks including shipping, maybe I won't waste my time with them. I found an adjustable set from an SRT on Ebay for about a grand (shocks and springs) is the harness there to hook them up? TaZer would probably give me Track Mode if so.
