    Looking for the best drop...

    I am really in the market and searching for the best possible drop. Appearance wise relative to the fender gap. I have a 3.5 on 22's 265/35/22. Now my problem with the Eibach pro kit is it looks like the rear sags a lil. Every pic I see, to me the rear looks too low, almost lower than the front. I'm looking for more of an even drop, maybe 1.5" all around or maybe a drop with a little rake where the front would be a tad lower. Give it more of a aggresive look. I know the Mopar springs only give you about 1" all around. I 'm looking somewhere in the middle because I do not want to go with the Sportline from Eibach either. Anybody with pedders or techco or any other brand with the V6 can help me out here or any pics??

    some may suggest coilovers that way you can ensure you get the look you are seeking. If I had the money that is the route I would of gone. I agree with you, the rear end seems to be a bit lower than needed and take away from the aggressive look; or it can. I'm still waiting to see if I will like the sportlines on my car.

    You know, I just saw a thread over on the other forum, believe he had a V6, he went with Hotchkis springs and the drop was just right. The front looked a tad lower and the stance was awesome. I think it's 1 1/8" F and 1 1/2" R drop. I think that thread just answered my own question. That hotchkis drop is the best I've seen!

    KW Var 2 Coilovers are the only way to fly.

    YOU adjust the height on all 4 corners. Go way higher than stock, or nearly scraping the ground, or any other height.

    YOU adjust the ride comfort from way softer than stock to way stiffer and everything in-between.

    They also don't give you that horrible "ricer bounce" that lowering springs do. You'll maintain a good ride instead of the harshness springs give you.

    Are you kidding me?

    I don't have any V6 pics to get you but the Drop should put you about where you want to be.

    Man, thats a nice ride you got there. I'm pushing a 3.5 as well. What size wheels you got there? Im on 22's. How's the ride with these springs and how was getting the alignment done? Any issues with these springs? I saw these on ebay for pretty cheap. Just worried about the quality versus Hotchkis or another brand.

    Several over on chargerforums are running these and have been for a couple years with no problems at all. The ride for me is almost identical to stock, not harsh, not bumpy at all. It does handle better however, it doesen't want to "roll over" in curves. The wheels are 22" SRT replicas with 265/35's. I'm getting it aligned Friday so I'll get back to you about that, it looks like I'll need the adjustable rear camber parts but those are only around $70 or so. Glad you like her bro

    Dude I advice you to go with the ksport springs as long as you get a smooth rub free ride. I have the eibach sportlines, and I rub whenever I go over a bump to fast. The coilovers I would rule them out completely unless you change them at the time of installation. I have both springs on my charger and complete coilover system on my 350z. Just thought that might help you out.
