    Arrow Pro kit vs Sportline?

    Sorry for the newb topic in advance...

    I'm going to order my springs this week but want to make sure I'm getting what I need. I have a 05 Magnum RT rwd, I will have 265/35/22 tires with 22x9 wheels and I want a mild, streetable drop. I actually like the way it rides now but the factory stance is KILLING me...What do you guys think?

    Any help would be appreciated.. Thanks

    Dunno the answer to your exact question but I will tell you this: do NOT change springs without changing dampers at the same time. The factory shocks/struts are made for a certain amount of travel. Any aftermarket springs will cause your shocks to go bad in a matter of months. Do some searching around the boards, you'll see this is fact.

    From what your saying, I'd go with the Pro-kit. That'll drop you anywhere from 1" - 1.5" and the ride will be a little firmer but not much. Here's the kicker.......You can get by with using the stock shocks with the pro-kit springs. It may be a little bouncy at times, but it'll be more like the stock ride if that's what you want. However, You may have the Nivomat self leveling shocks in the rear. If you do, you will not get any drop from lowering springs no matter what you use. I speak from experience here. I have the Sportline kit on an '05 R/T. It's quite a bit firmer than stock, maybe too firm for you. My point is, that the Nivomats came stock on my '05 R/T Magnum. Even though I had sportline springs with a 2" drop, the back end did not lower until I put new shocks on. I used Eibachs pro-dampers. You may want to consider installing dampers at the same time for best results. (see post above)
    If you go to tirerack.com, you can get the "pro-system kit" for $580.00 which includes the Pro kit springs and the pro-dampers. That's the cheapest you'll find anywhere. The link below should take you to the page you need.
