Credit cards Kev. It's like having monies when you don't really have the monies.

BC Racing coilvers, SPC camber kits, and Hotchkis sway bars. Seems to be some issue with the sways, so it'll be a while before I can get everything in. Given the nature of the install, it doesn't make sense to do some now and some later; better to just do it all at once. The silver lining is I'm tired of doing installs in the winter, so it'll be nice to do it in warmer weather.
What did you end up getting?

I'm going very mild. Mopar Stage 1 springs with Koni STR.T shocks. I was really close to going with the Eibach Pro-Kit but after a ton of reading about them it was just a hair too much of a drop after they settle. Hotchis with Bilsteins was my other option but again they settle too much and I hear the Bilsteins can make the ride too stiff. The Mopar's should lower it 1.5" all around and slightly improve the overall handling but give me the most comfortable ride when compared to the other spring/shock combos out there.

I hope so. I like to drive hard, even with a two ton tank. I can't take turns as fast as I could in my TL with ASPEC suspension and CT RSB and it annoys me. The body lean is tremendous. The coils are mainly for looks, and if they help in cornering, great, but that's what the sways are for.
Sounds like yours should be perfect. I was also considering the Eibach's, but like you, thought they were too low. That's why I ultimately went with coils, so I could adjust the height.

Oh I'm sure with that setup you'll definitely corner as good or better than the TL. Mine isn't too bad with the body roll with the Road and Track suspension but it can definitely improve. I'm just hoping the drop isn't too mild. I hear the drop is 1" and settles to 1.5" which I think will be perfect. We'll see. Worst case I'll just switch the springs out if I'm not happy.

Gracias. MOPAR Scat Pack Forged Lightweight Matte Black Wheels, 20x9 +25.5 offset, Goodyear RSA-2 245/45/20 tires.
The photo is just for reference of another set on CL. I got mine off of Fleebay. They're take offs from a 2015 Challenger so pretty much zero miles on them.

Will you need spacers to run them?

Teaser shot lined up in front of the chrome clads. Too bad it so freeg'n cold out otherwise I'd put the suspension and wheels on.
So after looking at the back of the wheels it turns out they're actually +18.5 offset, not 25.5, so I won't need to run any spacers. Pretty happy about that.

I Need AcuraZine's Humble Opinion...
I did a test fit of the Scat Pack wheels yesterday and then did a quick Photoshop chop with the drop the springs should give me. I'm 50/50 on whether I like the look or not. When I first put them on I was not digging them at all actually. So much so I already started a for sale thread on a couple of my Charger forums. Once I did the chop to the photo I'm liking it a little bit more but I'm still not convinced they look better than the stock chrome clad wheels. I need some opinions on whether to keep them until after I drop the car to see if they grow on me or should I just cut my losses now and stick with the chrome clads?
And here's how they look without the chop...

I think they look good with the drop.
But your call.

Thanks for the opinions so far. I'm kind of leaning toward holding onto them until the car is dropped and seeing if they'll grow on me, but I'll keep the chrome clads just in case. This is the most money I've ever dropped on wheels so I really want to love them but it just hasn't happened yet.

I'm sorry to hear that. Personally, I don't think your opinion's going to change with time, but hopefully I'm wrong. The wheel search for our cars is frustrating. With our bolt pattern, there are so few options available, and most of those are atrocious. You're almost forced to go custom, and the price of that seems to have gone up considerably from when I got wheels for the TL.

If you do t love them. Sell them now while they are hot and get something else. Good thing about dodge is a lot of their stock wheels look great.

They look great, especially on that color car.

I do like the Viper reps but they're heavy as sin and yeah way too popular. I've been convinced. I'm holding off on selling them until the suspension goes on. Hopefully that'll be this week.

The design is pretty close imo to the viper wheels. But I think they would be much sexier in a gunmetal color on your paint. Not that black is bad. Its work as well, especially with your decals.
One of favorites to this day are the aluminum super bee wheels. Similar design to the chrome clads...but I think they are alcoa wheels.

Is it the design or the color you aren't sold on?

I like the Super Bee wheels but they're actually pretty heavy for forged wheels. From what I've read they're as heavy as the chrome clads. I don't dislike the chrome clads, actually I really like them, but I was just thinking the black wheels would match the theme of the stripes.
Really what it comes down to is I'm just a very indecisive person lol.
