Hey guys, have a 13 v6 challenger, I was wondering if anyone with experience lowering the car had any suggestions on which brand and model to use? I want it lower but not super slammed, just a nice lower look and dont want to have a horrible ride because of it.
Is there a certain one that wont affect the smooth ride? I know theyre all going to affect it in some way but if its going to ride super hard I would just decide to leave it as-is.
I got right about a 1.5" drop with the stage 1 Mopars. Not sure if it would be the same on your car though as the V6 is probably lighter than my 5.7 ? Unless they make a special version for the V6?
summit racing springs, i personally think they cleaned up the ride a bit. when kicking it a little on corners it feels much smoother and more natural. similar to a solid axle car now
DSMDAVE-do you know if its the 1.6 or 1.9 inch spring you used? Do you need to drive over seedbumps and driveways crooked or do you clear them still? still nice ride quality?
1.5" silver spings, I have lower profile tires and I dont drive sideways over things or have to do any of that. I have yet to bottom out on my driveway incline either
those are my springs, im doing a hunt to see what the dirrerence is, for some reason I believe its the camber setup but speedlogix lists the springs to be compatible on a few years into 12 but not other brands
yeah ive noticed some brand say 2009-2013 and some 2009-2010 and some 2011-2012 so it confused me I really like that $169 price for the summit springs also...dont know if I should trust the springs on ebay for $109 that say 2009-2013
i would avoid ebay all together for suspension, it seems like the height is what changes and they are all the same springs but just the height is what can matter more
Thank you! I have stiffer springs than you do so I didn't try it. I would think it would take as much time to compress it as it would be to just drop the control arm. Remember you have to compress the new one to get it in.
It really isn't as bad as they make it seem. I dropped the bolt in the trunk and one in the bottom. Placed a jack under it so it would fall in the right place than just lifted it back up and used a bolt to alight both ends
