My Baby

I did a KW coil over lowering kit. Dropped my girl almost 2" all the way around.

I have the KW springs on my bilstein suspension. There's an improvement in the rate of damping of the shocks. Overall, they work great in all drive modes.

Can you post some pictures? Curious to see how your car sits.

Just curious... If/When I do mods to my current stock suspension on my 2019 Charger Hellcat, will I loose the ability to change the ride via the "Performance Page" on screen? Kinda interested in Fully Adjustable Coil-Overs....

Thanks in Advance

I put Demon spring and swaybars front and rear on. Also installed BMR's cradle lock out kit. . So far I'm very impressed with the results . Very comfortable for street driving and seems to work well at the track so far. I might go with adjustable rear control arms in the future but I'm not sure yet .

Front strut connector
Poly cradle bushings
Full set adjustable rear control arms
Rear tension arm with a good bushing
Adjustable front control arm

We will do that, then evaluate if it is good enough for the track (road course) before potentially moving to body stiffeners.

None of the above. Ive made a few rear suspension upgrades in addition to tires and rims to get the power my stock set up is making to the ground. Only after that will I begin to increase power with a mild pulley and tune.

If you have done none of the above, what have you done for your "few rear suspension upgrades"?

Spohn Tubular Rear Trailing Arms and also their Sway Bar End Links. I intend to go the rest of the way with Spohns adjustable Control Arms F & R, and the BMR Rear Cradle Lock Out Kit as well.

Nice. Basically what I am doing only with different products. I am going to use the softer urethane cradle bushings and the AAD adjustable arms, because I don't quite need the drag race solid bushings. Did it with the '15 and it worked real well for my use.

AAD stuff is really nice. A bit spendy on my budget though.

KW adjustable ride height spring set, BMR spherical bearing sway bar end links, AAD adjustable front upper A-arms with the spherical bearing upgrade, AAD adjustable inner/outer rear arms, AAD billet trailing arms with the spherical bearing upgrade, solid cradle bushings, front shock tower brace, rear shock tower brace, Per4mance DIRS diff brace, HR-5 9.5" front/11.0" rear wheels, Nitto NT-05 315/35X20 rear tires & Nitto NT-01 285/35X20 front tires.

While most consider the diff brace to be about preventing diff damage, it also goes a long way toward eliminating wheel hop. The diff brace and solid cradle bushings really made a difference.

H&R Springs so far. She drives so much better and wheel hop pretty much non existent! I have an 18 WB M6 so it was bad. Brace and Springs so far so good. Screenshot_20190821-134451_Chrome.jpg Screenshot_20190821-134251_Chrome.jpg

I would like to upgrade the front and rear swaybar endlinks but am on the fence about if they take out enough body lean to be worth it.
Some guys put on Bwoody stuff, I think the BMR spherical rod ended would actually be better...

I know it's some lag time from your post but if you're still around, if you just change your springs your drive modes will still adjust your factory shocks. If you change your shocks then no more drive modes for your suspension.

Demon springs for more weight transfer and better launches.
