About LinkBacksCan someone point me in the right direction for lowering springs. Now my Mag is the SXT with the 18's. If you can provide any info that would be awesome. I'm looking to drop it but not too much. I still need to drive this in the winter. I really want a more aggressive. Pics would be great also. Thanks

Apples/Oranges a little bit, but there's boo-coo pics of my RT on Eibach Prokits (about 1-3/4 drop) in my Photobucket link in my sig as well.
Can't help you in the 'driving in the winter' category, if it snows in Georgia, we all stay inside.

Radtech -- I think the general consensus is that anything more then the 1" mopar drop will probably cause premature wear on the shocks... unless you do coilovers like moondoggie. A coilover setup also provides an adjustable drop, though its a lot more $$$ compared to springs...
But barring that -- the lower you go, the more you force the shocks to operate within the higher limits their compression range. The stockers simply aren't tuned for that, and will likely wear faster as a result.2005 Brilliant Black Magnum SXT
