    BC racing coilovers installed and engine bay pics

    My suspension was shot on my 06 Charger so decided to replace the shocks. I ordered the BC racing coilovers and SPC a-arms from Circuit Motorsports, service was top notch. Still need to go get an alignment and then do the rear bushings.

    Handling is night and day. I no longer feel like I am floating down the road. I was also wondering how the cornering would be and didn't expect a huge difference without replacing the sways, but about 90% of the body roll is gone. I am sure this is attributed to the higher spring rates and running the shocks on the stiffer side (17 out of 30).

    Ride height right now I have about 1 finger gap in the front and a tiny bit more in the rear. I may try to lower a bit more, we shall see. I have a very inclined driveway and would rather not have to adjust height much in the winter. Easier for me to have it slightly higher by 1/4-1/2" in back and then bring the front up that much in the winter to help with clearance at the bottom of the driveway.

    Ease of adjustability
    Fronts are real easy to adjust just using the wrenches, don't need to disconnect anything. Rear is a bit of a pain as with any set up that has the spring and shock seperate you need to lower the spring bucket to take tension off the spring to adjust.

    Set is also noticably lighter than stock as well.

    On to the pics

    Looks awesome. Can't wait to upgrade my suspension to get that stuck to the ground feeling.. Nothing like feeling like the car is on rails and not floating from lane to lane. Are you running 22 or 20 in. replicas. Either way they look awesome with the drop.

    Looks great, amazing how the handling improves, when I got the prokit w/dampers I was shocked how much better it handled, congrats !!

    Shipping was extremely quick, only took like 3 days and packaging was amazing. You guys were very helpful in helping me decide what I needed and looking into if I could do a true coilover in the rear. Wish BC would warranty a true coilover for the rear as it would be easier to adjust but it is good it is at least an option.

    Thanks for the help!

    Wow, that looks great! Gonna leave it that low for the winter?

    My Eibach Pro-Street-S coilovers should be at my office tomorrow along with some hotchkis front and rear sways.

    How wide are your tires? 265's? I am trying to figure out if I will need to roll my fenders or not.. I have 265/35R22's at the moment.

    I am going to try to leave it like that for the winter. That was also why I was doing a slighty raked stance. If it is too low in the front I can raise it a little to make it even.

    The tires are 265/35/22's I'm not sure if I will have to roll or not yet either. There is a member on another forum I was a part of before I got this car that rents out a tool for $50. I may try myself and see how it goes. Big test will be after my alignment today to see if I rub. I have lots of negative camber right now.
