Here's my yesterday, Changing out my RT rear suspension for shagmag (Cam) rear 300 SRT suspension. We got about 1/2 way and then THIS happened....

We went out later and finished it up. The RT sits very nice with the 300 SRT springs and rear shocks. Still have to swap out the fronts and I'm going to cut 1/2 coil from the front spring. Cam is going to trade in his SXT Magnum and the local dealer has a brand new Charger Hemi for $24,800 NOT BAD! Sticker on the car was $34,000. Someone chime in and tell him he's getting a great deal on it!!!

UPDATE: We finished the swap on Monday of the front SRT components on mine and the RT parts on Cams' car. We used his father-in-laws carport this time... good thing 'cause it rained again!!! I'm very pleased with the rear but the front sits too high for me. Hopefully it will drop a bunch as I like a slight rake. I didn't cut my 1/2 coil like I wanted too and might have to pull it apart and do that if it doesn't settle down where I want it...

I remember some days years back, when I use to work on cars in the summer..95* and humid.....I use to pray for rain and just stand in it...:caveman: Cover up th tools of course..
