    Installed Suspension/Wheels/Tires

    Last week I installed an Eibach Pro Kit suspension which included springs and matching shocks. It dropped the Challenger R/T 1.5" front and back. I did the install in my garage on jack stands which wasn't too bad, but I did have air tools. The worst part was that it was 95 degrees and 50% humidity. It'd have been a lot more fun in cooler weather.



    Then I installed Boss 338 wheels in a staggered setup with 20x8.5 (+14mm) in the front and 20x10 (+20mm) in the rear. Nitto Invo 245/40ZR20 tires in the front and 295/35ZR20 in the rear.



    Lots more pictures on my site at www.speedysgarage.net. I'm also editing together the video I did on how to install the Eibach suspension kit. I should have that posted up on my site by Saturday.

    Let me know what you guys think. I'm thrilled with how it turned out. Very old school.

    Nice Job... Have you got any Pic's from the rear with those tires and wheels... a little more meat in the back has got to be a plus.

    Looks killer man. I'm thinking about the same wheel combo except in black, chrome, or powdercoated in the same color as the car.
    Next chally will be a strip only car. Somethin in the stocker ranks.
