The kit, with some simple adjustment, got me low, like low low. My tires rub against the top of my fender liners low. Finally getting compliments in a narrowbody Scat Pack low. For a Dodge Challenger, y'know with it's atrocious weight problem, it does feel much less vague now, my confidence in corners is better because at a lower height, not only has my lateral G increased a little, but the overall 'quality' of the ride helps me feel the 'limit' as I approach it much better.
installing this kit took me alone a weekend, so make sure you have time, at least two jackstands, and some determination. Adjustment of the dampening does make a noticeable difference, and the range is pretty vast too. You can go from 'blown shocks' to 'bent rims' in terms of shock absorber effectiveness, and it has enough settings that the changes don't feel too minimal or drastic. To note: on this kit, the rear adjusters are installed upside down. Why? I'm not quite sure. I should have asked, but I'm pretty sure it's because the adjustment is reversed on the rears of this kit and installing the adjuster upside down was easier and probably a lot cheaper than printing a whole new adjuster with reversed instructions. Don't take my word for it though! It's not even like I adjusted the rears, only the fronts.
In terms of addons:
1 - Swift Springs are a must. I wouldn't know what a Silver's kit without them feels like, but I suppose that's a good thing because just about everyone who recommended Silver's to me also has the Swift Springs installed and raved about them to me when I was contemplating the additional cost. Also a little lighter per corner, as a Challenger owner, I'll take any pound I could get.
2 - Covers are also a must, especially with swift springs. It's like a phone case, you could go without it and watch as your coilovers get dirty, road gunk in the important bits, and wear out faster, or you can increase their lifespan while swagging em' out. lift each corner and unzip the covers at a car meet to show off your sick, brightly colored Swift Springs still looking good as new.
3- True rear conversion Vs. OEM style rear. I probably should have touched on this first since it's the most important choice for any LX/LC/LA owner, but I strongly recommend converting to true rear. The true rear kit removes the spring from the center of the lower control arm and instead mounts it on the shock absorber, *where* the shock absorber is mounted, right at the end of the control arm by the knuckle. That's the most important bit. The positioning on the true rear conversion in my opinion adds greatly to the overall feel of the suspension, and it also addressed wheel hop, significantly reducing it.
Overall, I recommend having a sales rep talk you through your potential purchase if you are a first time buyer like I was. They can help a lot when it comes to learning what's best. A huge thank you to William Mesman.
