Installed Mopar Springs today... Uh oh

[Scott P.]

Front of the car came down nicely... about an inch and a half at least. Unfortunately the rear of the car went UP about an inch and a half!!! HELP!!!

[BLKCHARGER]

Wait a few days let them settle. It should come down... Sometimes settling takes a few weeks though.

[TNCHARGER]

Going for that 60/70s jack-up the rear look eh?:) ........Sorry, I have no idea...did you talk to whoever you bought them from?..good luck...maybe someone who knows will chime in..

[dalucifer]

That sounds rather odd...I would check to makes ur everything is installed properly...The new springs will need to settle in as said above, but should still drop with the new springs..

It actually has come down a bit after driving it a few miles. It is now only slightly above the stock ride height. I'm guessing too that it will come down a litle more after a while. I LOVE the fronts! I think this is the prefect height for this car. I also added the Mopar dual exhaust today, and 20x9 ASA JH8 wheels and tires from Tire Rack. Oh yeah... this is a Police Package car!!! I will post pictures if anyone wants to see!

Thanks for the help.

id definetly like to see some pics, especially of the exhaust.

Does the police package have the load leveling shocks in the rear, like the Road and Track package? That would prevent the lowering springs from actually lowering the car.

Pics please! How was the ride when you took it out? Is it noticeably harsher then the stock set up

There's your answer. Some board members without the load leveling shocks have swapped with others in the past, maybe you could try to do that. Either way, without those your rear will stay jacked up :)

[Scott P.]

Hmmm interesting. How does the load leveling work? We have two other Police Package cars that are also lowered using Eibachs. These seem to look perfect. Mine, using Mopars.... not so good. These are actually Police Product Demonstration vehicles. All of them are actually Police Package cars, with shifters on the column, etc. Here is a photo of one of our Magnums.

Thats a nice magnum. Are those 300 SRT wheels?

[Scott P.]

I believe so yes. Definately SRT wheels, they look like 300's.

[nightshifter]

those are the sexiest magnums I have ever seen. (and I'm not a big magnum fan at all) Can you get me discounts on some blue strobes?
