Yeah, if you want adjustability, I'd go for coil-overs, BUT you'll pay alot more for parts, if you wanna do just springs, it'd be cheaper, but no adjustability. I have the Eibach Sportlines as well, they are pretty good, and a good ride, nothing TOO rough at all, I've installed those too on a Challenger, I've installed Drop Zones on a Charger and they are a little more of a drop, pretty low, I've installed Pedders kits, they are a subtle drop, as well as two full SRT swaps on Shawn's and Okie's cars, a nice sublte drop. If you have a grip front end, SRT or Pedders is probably a good choice in my opinion, or even coil-overs, BUT you'll pay a little bit more. I'd also maybe think about putting you're stock front clip back on if you're gonna be driving during the winter, just so you don't have to re-paint or even replace it, you know these Chicago winters and the lovely job the guys who plow do LoL

If you decide, let me know and we can get-er-done

Go with the srt set up. You can find on Lx for a good price. Anything else will be to low with the Grip fascia.

I havent, but I believe a few people have. I'm pretty sure Jontoad and Liljoe have, and maybe Ghost and Tom might have.

Im interested as well about the sway bars. Im not looking to take it on a track or anything. I just hate the feeling when i go around a curve. Id just like to stay flat rather than roll

I replaced Jontoad's and Liljoe's. The fronts are no problem. the rears are tricky to get in, but I've done so many, I know how to work it LoL I also have a Pedders sway bar on the front and it TOTALLY helped in my opinion in normal driving and the time I autocrossed it. It "ties it all together"

I read a review on how to put the front in and it looked like it was almost just plug and play really. The rear did look a little more difficult. Said that you had to jack the car up and put the rails on stands then unbolt the rear cradle to lower the rearend?

I have worked on the old Mopars all my life, pulling engines, dropping trans ect. I have done everything on the old ones, but these new Mopars do Intimidate me a little. I wish they had auto manuals out for chargers like they do for all the old cars.
