How it going. Don’t know if this post is in the correct location.
My name is Larry. New to this site.
I’m posting about a 6 speed wide body challenger hellcat that I have and I’m planing on up grading.
I sold my 6 speed 392 SRT narrow body challenger to buy the hellcat.
My last car had a full spoon suspension lowering springs front control arms.I ran 305’s 555’s on Volsson wheels.
I didn’t rub ever. I hooked very nice. My suspension squeezed a little.

So plan to keep the cat so now revisiting my old set up.

the wide body is low. And has exhaust work but other then that sitting factory. i do rub a little on bumps and dips.

I am looking at
AAD
Bwoody
Spoon.

I don’t remember if my spoon set up had grease fittings.
I see bwoody dose offer the parts with fitting for lube But they don’t make a full set and will still end up with some spoon parts in the mix.
looks like there are a couple company’s offering aluminum parts. They do look grate but id think tubular steel are probably stronger?
Idk if the aad and others offer grease fitting?
Grease fitting seems important with that kind of material more so then with steel parts?

last dose any one run full suspension bwoody or AAD on this site that can let me know if there squeaking like my 392 did.

this was the only real con to the set up.
I’d gladly spend more cash to not squeak.

Buy AAD with their upgraded bushings. Helm Joints on the others and bushings that need greased are prone to noise.

This makes zero noise, every arm is by AAD.

Ya there stuff looks very nice. And there front control arms look nicer then the eibach I ran on the 392.

My set up on the 392 was not as adjustable as it could have been.

any one on here run Speedlogix Adjustable Rear Lower Perch Control Arms

The ones like this?

I have tried every brand you mentioned above including a set of SL lower tension arms. See the quality difference between anything else and AAD?

That is the front. I have never seen the need to buy those.

I am curious, because I have done a ton of work on the rear ends of two Hellcats now (just yesterday on my '19 to prepare and give it a final check before putting it on a trailer), and have seen many others do the exact same things for drag racing that I do for lapping it. I guess until now, I have not see anyone who wants to add that piece in the rear. The front suspension has a similar piece that does make some sense for the more serious than I am on handling and wear.

What do you want it for? Do you think rear shocks need aftermarket lower perches, because, yours have failed or something? How does it IMPROVE the rear suspension? Remember, some aftermarket items may fail, and/or make your vehicle NOT as capable as it was when it was delivered. What setting would that adjust in the rear, how does that work with the other adjustments in the rear if it is changed? If you add that item, see the Helm Joint?

I don't think I would buy these arms just looking at the welds alone.

I did my 392 SRT years ago. When I got the hellcat I was just going to keep the suspension factory to avoid the squeak I had. But decided to do suspension cuz the hell cat has more power then the 392 and I miss the way it handled.

the didn’t offer aluminum control arms or the lower control arm when I put my 2016 together.

I have no idea what benefit it may have. That’s why I asked about the newer parts I see on line.
Looking at it maybe with negative camber adjustment? I know with air ride cars the make arms like that to lower a car further or correct wheel angle.
I’m not suggesting any of that is the idea behind the part. I am simply asking if any one is using it cuz I don’t know what the need is for it.

I agree some parts sold can brake. That’s also why I’m taking the time to ask if any one is using any of the parts that are new on the market or parts I just didn’t use.

I have seen a lot of posts on the AAD stuff. But I really don’t see how there going to preform much better then a tubular adjustable set up.
there control arms look killer but don’t really know if there going to preform better then the other two after market options available. It was very hard to see my modified suspension even laying on the floor looking under my car. So nice looking is nice but if it looks like a tube but hooks my tire I don’t give a D. You know.

I had a 1967 dart with 318 auto and a bench seat
I dove it every place when I was 16 till 20. I loved it so much I cut the floor out and dog legged it put in an aluminum floor and a 440 / 4 speed. It just what I wanted in hi school. And I drive it around the block now and then, and think about how I just went a little to far. Lol

so I will have to live with a stiffer ride so my tires stick and probably some squeaking but don’t want to toss a part on that snaps or rubs or worse.

I’m running full AAD front and rear with Hotchkis lowering springs and there is zero squeaking or additional noise. The quality and extra adjustability is worth the extra money.

 

[borden72]

I have been watching AAD posts and am sold on their product. Very little problem wise and everyone seems happy with the quality. I'm not sure when I will be doing mine but I want to do front and rears.

That’s the direction I’ll probably go. I like the idea of one company making all the parts along with the look and feed back I see on line. Seems like it be worth the extra cash.

Also thinking about a rear end brace. Seems like there are a couple options out there.

 

[DGatzby]

You might as well just get everything from AAD, they retail the correct brace also..

Per4mance Development DIRS brace is what you want.
