Mopar Springs

Hey, those that have lowered their 300's..

I'm looking to drop the car with the Mopar Springs and my questions was related to aligning the vehicle afterwords.

do these cars align well with the drop or would I need to purchase additional parts? I cant remember what they're called right now but I've seen them around on various vendors.

Also, do these cars have self-adjusting rear shocks? My car does not have the adjusting headlamps.



Sidebar: what about the factory struts/shocks; worth/necessary changing them or ok with the lowering springs?

Hi Obzidian
I installed the Mopar lowering springs on my 2016 300S. They lowered about 1.00" with no other mods necessary. I was also due for new tires, so right after I lowered it, I bought new tires and had an alignment done then. No issues with the alignment, I don't think the tire shop even realized it was lowered. The 1.00" drop looks like how car should have looked factory anyways, especially in the 300S package. Here's a pic right after springs were installed....it's been a couple of months now and the car is sitting a tiny bit lower than in this pic...I think the springs had to settle a little bit as I drove it, but it looks great now in my opinion.

I've never had the Mopar springs but I did just order the super track pack kit for my 2015 S. I'd have to imagine the super track pack handles better as it's a matched set that comes with Bilstein shocks. Then again an argument could be made that the lower ride height of the Mopar springs gets the center of gravity lower so that would handle better. As long as it doesn't take it so low that you wind up with bump steer issues (lower control arms should not ride below parallel to the ground etc). I'll come back and update how the handling is after I install my super track pack. My goal is to get rid of the floaty, heavy boat feel. I want it tighter and more sport/less luxo barge. I've had super stiff low cars in the past though and I'm sick of scraping and ruining bumpers so for the 300 I figure I'll try a smaller drop but still hopefully much stiffer springs on the stp kit. . . EDIT: I went with eibach pro-kit instead, the STP kit was backordered endlessly and I got sick of waiting. The pro-kit handles nice but it still feels like a big heavy car, no getting around that I guess. I also put on the whiteline sway bars front and rear. The body roll is reduced, still not a go kart though. It's always going to be a luxury car and that's ok, it looks great and handles noticeably better so :thumbs_u:
