Does anyone have the ride height numbers in inches on the different spring setups, ei Hellcat/ Scat Demon, and so on I just put the complete set of Mopar Demon springs and it seems it sits a little higher. Thanks in advance.

The blue Mopar springs are supposed to be a 20mm (3/4") drop for a HC, I barely saw 5/8", even after a year.

But, really, I'm very happy with it.

But if you put the Demon springs on, you were looking for weight transfer??

Had dealer install the blue mopar springs before I picked up car.
Really hoped it would drop more than it did.
Have a box of eibachs, need to be installed though.
They drop at least 1 inch front/rear (with what I recollect).
FYI:
My "Recollector" is a bit used/dated/aged/worn out.
So I may be a "tad" off.

hmmm, I think my car sits just right with the stockers

I know many lower these for looks but does lowering it help with drag strip or is that more of a road course thing?
@BULL - Your car looks awesome!!!

I wouldn't disagree with you, given your propensity for 1320ft at a time.

For those of us who are focused on 5280ft, or road coursing, or even just looking better, a 3/4 - 1" drop is awesome...

(Well except for that small axle eating issue...)

Thank you!

Yea, on my 16 I had Eibachs. Had a boot tear on left side.
Don't know if it was due the eibachs, or if it happened before.
Guessing it was due to lowering springs, as others have mentioned it as a cause.

This thing rides like Grandpas Oldsmobile now with the demon springs and sway bars, reminds me of my 72 a little but definitely bites better. But your Silver cat's stance is hard to beat Bull. and yes I'm trying to improve my launch and overall traction which was nonexistent before. In Oct I'm trying my hand in the standing mile.

So I'm sure others can tell you better about 1/4, and how the Demon springs will help.

Assuming that the Standing Mile won't have a prepped surface, your launch isn't going to matter. Standing Mile really comes down to HP.

I can roll off of the start like a grandma and it barely changes my trap.

I still launch hard anyway... ... because....

@BULL and @Hunter sorry for the necro-thread revive, just passing the time while I wait for my (standard) HC Challenger that I ordered, but the picture that BULL posted is the EXACT look I'm going for and wanted to know if either of y'all had the part numbers for those MOPAR lowering springs...?

When the time comes that the stock tires are (literally!) smoked, I'd like to go with a wider tire (285/40/20 I think...) and maybe spacer(s) to fill out the wheel wells a little better, eventually going with a staggered setup with 10.5 rears (and 305s), I just REALLY like the Brass Monkey wheels I ordered and hopefully can get some rear repros to get the extra width.

Thanks!

There's only one set of blue Mopar sorings that I'm aware of, I'll try to find them in my files somewhere.

About $300 if I recall

I did the install myself

I also have the Mopar springs installed.
Had dealership install before I took delivery.
If you want even lower, eibach makes springs for the Challenger.
But, if you are using wider than stock wheels/tires, expect some light rubbing on wavey roads.

These are the Mopar springs I used

https://www.speedlogixstore.com/product-p/p5155436.htm

Two things, I DON'T recommend this vendor, this is just a reference.

Note the years of fitment.

I also only got 5/8"-3/4" drop, not the 1.25" they claim, and yes, I've checked after "settling" time (about 1 year).

I really don't want anymore anyway.

Lastly, there have been reports of failed half-shafts after lowering, including from me.

Proceed at your own risk

My splitter is all scraped up with stock springs and 18" skinnies. I can't imagine lowering it anymore.

The Charger is much lower than the Challenger.
