suspension Install 'help' request

[oldcarsrock]

So a couple of questions,

I got a smoking deal on some R/T and SRT parts that I would like to put in my '07 SE charger - Front and rear swaybars, and some springs/shocks/struts. I haven't looked at the partnumbers to match them up with what goes where on the shocks/springs, but I'm thinking I might try and install them over my short Christmas break while I'm in San Antonio. Ideally, I'd self install, because I'm cheap as heck. Would anyone more experienced than I, in the area be bored enough to help out? I've never messed much with suspension, except on my old car and that was just installing coil-overs and break kits. The rear swaybar seems like it would be intimidating, and I don't know the first thing about 'modern' suspensions.

I guess the first step will be figuring out which springs/shocks I have. I'll try matching those up when I get into town tomorrow. At least I know where the sway bars go lol.

Otherwise, would anyone have a shop they would reccommend, keeping in mind I'm on the cheap side.

Ok, on the SE you will need to get a few things so you can use the rear bar, your SE dont have one, so you will need all the mounting hardware.

Next you will need some kind of spring compressor to set the struts up with the spings.

Out side of that it is fairly straight forward. The hotchkis instructions are very good for doing all of this.

Thanks Rob,
I dug up the following from an older thread - would the list below be all the mounting hardware for the rear bar, and nothing would be necc. for the front as I already have a small one there? I'm slightly wary as I don't want to jack up the suspension geometry, but it seems from most of the threads that it won't so... Might as well burn some time, right? Lastly, will I need to get any hardware for the spring/shocks install? I'd read a few threads where RT guys had issues with negative rake when installing SRT front end stuff and reusing their stock RT eqp (spring endcaps or something etc).

REar sway-bar stuff:
2 links 4766866aa
2 link bolts 6102222aa
2 link bolts 6102239aa
2 bushing brackets 4228786
4 bushing bracket bolts 5180016aa

The problem comes from load leveling shocks.

There is a built in rake but it is not much.

You should be fine, no issues.
