So i want to put some lowering springs on my WB charger hellcat. Who's running what and what kind of drop and performance are you getting from them. I've been looking at the Eibach pro kit but I see a few others like Peddars that has been pulling my interest. I've only ever ran Eibach on my other cars and I know they worked but they also make a drag spring set up as well so for traction sake I've been considering those as well. Clearly I need some suggestions and or picture comparisons for whatever you guys are running.

From what I've read, you better stock up on axles if you lower your hellcat at all

I just lowered the rear to level it out with the BMR springs 1.25. Also added the adjustable trailing arms so no issues with the axles. Didn't want to mess with the front geometry

Lots of people have lowering springs on their cars here with zero issues. I would say hard-core road racers and guys with their cars slammed are having the issues.

I have the pro kit. Handles tight!

Eibach pro kit. Not a DD, and I don't beat the crap out of the car. That said, it handles great, and my axle boots are still intact...

Yeah I'm looking to just minimize the wheel gap slightly. I'm not looking for anything nuts. The pro kit is looking awesome on those challengers. The wheel gap on those are insane from factory. I think I'll go with the pro kit also. Thanks guys.

Word of advice; the rear tires will wear very prematurely. My tries only last me 2200 miles Bc of the camber situation that this causes. I fixed this by installing full AAD suspension on the rear. You can also correct the camber issue with offset camber bushings. I opted for the AAD wheel hop eliminator kit Bc I like to spend money I guess.

You get lower drag, more downforce for the whole car, and no extra stress on rear axles if you just lower the front.

On another, important note: lowering the part of the car with the greatest mass (the front end) has a positive effect on handling cripsness, and aids traction on the understeer-prone front end (prone to it in non-power-on neutral cornering.)

F1 cars have lower fronts than rears, and they have an huge budget.

Plus, it looks aggressive, and puts the chin splitter closer to the ground than does slamming the whole shebang.

Just remember to put springs in the rear that are the same height as stock, but stiffer, to match the front springs (assumedly) higher rate.

As an additional bonus, it lowers the mass of everything in front of the front axle even LOWER than would be the case with all-around lowering. Still, every part of the car up to the rear axle is lower than stock, and the part behind the rear axle is mostly empty space.

What is not to like?

 

[Bored Panduh]

I ordered the pro kit from Eibach. I'm not sure what I'll be doing in the future but to cruise around in until the warranty dries out I figured it'd be ok. Once I take it to the track I'm going to look into something else. Now I'm trying to figure out which exhaust if any to go with.

 

[Himmelkat]

Oh, it's a Charger. Never mind. I thought it was a Challenger.

Yeah

 

[Wh1t3Sc0tt]

Yeah

Did you ever end up lowering your charger? I’m looking to lower mine 1” in the front and 1 1/2 in the rear. I have a 21 redeye charger and it sits a little too high for my liking.

I haven't installed the kit yet. I did go with the pro kit from Eibach but haven't gotten around to installing them. I don't have the means to do it myself so I need to find a shop and since I just moved I'm still looking for someone I can trust.

Yeah I see your point there. Thanks for the reply. The Eibach pro kit from what I seen looks like it lowers the car a lot.

Yeah I'm hoping it's a happy medium. There are lower springs out there for sure but I'm trying to keep drivability and performance ahead of looks at the moment.

Yeah same. From what I’ve seen it looks like the pro kit lowers the car more than what I would like that’s why I’m skeptical on getting it. And I also want the ride quality to stay the same.

 

[GreenMachine15]

The prokit has the same ride quality as stock IMO and is the best choice. There are pics everywhere of these cars using the eibachs, makes it easy to get a visual.
If you want less of a drop, then you have three options....
Leave it stock $free
Adjustable coil overs $1000+
Air ride $3000+
The eibachs are what, $250-270

Some people have put mopar lowering springs on, but is it really worth it for a tiny barely noticable drop, I say no.

Use the search and read all the posts from the last 6 years on this topic. They are full of pics, info, reviews. The only thing that has changed since then are the prices. AND do not listen to people posting about their friends cousins car and how it rides so rough. BS
Ask one of us that is using the springs and we can give our opinion.
I run them, best visual mod I have done for the car and I love how the car rides, with the active suspension you can really feel a difference, the car looses the floating feeling.
