    Pedders Springs?

    Will Pedders springs #2940 and #2941 work on my 300c? How much will they lower it, any pics?

    do you know if you have Nivomat rear shocks?

    The best option is to replace the shocks too

    Pedders

    I did a trackII complete kit on my 06 Mag. Good ride and performance. About a 1.5 drop or 2". Challenging on the driveway - don't know how you guys get away with 2".

    Looks great and performs well on both street and autocross.

    The car just goes where I point it. Ride is fine also.

    Driver kinda sux!

    The most important part is wheels and tires for the grip.

    If you really want to slam it, go bags, or avoid speed bumps.

    I am not sure about the Nivomats, I don't think I have them. I am just looking for the look, this is just my daily car, no performance out of her at all.

    i don't have any pics of a 300 with those springs, rear nivomat shocks can make lowering it not the easiest thing in the world, as they will tend to raise the rear up a bit.

    Where do you live?

    I know that you said your not looking for any performance, but this kit will include the shocks that not only perform better, but give you a better ride too, and will hold up much better than the stock shocks with lowering springs installed.

    There is also a bushing for the steering rack to help the tire wear on the fronts

    ANY kind of lower spring on a stock shock will mean blowing out the shock very early in its life span, and continuously doing so as long as you own the car.

    IMO, if youre doing springs, match them with struts from the same MFG

    It's not my first time doing suspension, I am going to do shocks as well, but in the mean time I am going to blow out my shocks until I can get a set of new ones. I am looking at these springs because they were offered to me in a trade.

    well, as mentioned, it depends on the rear shocks, some cars are equipped with the nivomats, and their ride height will not change even with springs.
    the front will drop tho.

    pedders offers a handful of spring heights and to be honest im not sure which ones you have.

    the springs WILL WORK on your 300, that is not a problem at all,

    hes a picture of my car with Pedders Struts/Springs
    the description i gave/wanted/asked for and the springs sized accordingly are for a "slightly lower than SRT ride height in front, and SRT ride height in the rear to give it a raked look"

    please note the tire profile is way off (30 series instead of 40 series) hence the huge gap (roughly .8" more than it should be) between the tire and wheel well.

    here is an older picture when i had 40 series tires and different wheels



    i will have to find a recent picture to show you since i now have 40 series tires in teh back and its perfect.

    i dont know the part numbers on my springs, and its possible yours are even lower.
