This is my first post. I am thinking about buying a Crossfire Coupe since I just started working for Chrysler last week. I was wondering what good suspension setups there are out there for this car. For comparison I have a 2002 Ford Focus SVT with H&R coilovers and an adjustable rear sway bar. I prefer a very stiff ride with very nice neutral handling. Plus I think the Crossfire would look very nice lowered alittle bit as well.

Also, what is the widest front wheels and tires that can be put on one of these things as well?

 

just cut the stock springs.

 

wont it ride horrible. also i don't know how much i can lower the car with 20's on the back and 19's on the front.

 

the XF suspension is not a coilover design.

 

I've had excellent results with the Eibach Pro Kit and Koni dampers. I highly recommend them.

Don't cut your stock springs. GEEEZE... The Eibach Pro Kit cost's under $300 and the improvement of the progressive spring design is well worth it.

You may also consider a rear camber kit if you lower your ride.

 

Depends on what you're looking for. What if you prefer straight rate? And i'm willing to bet correctly shortened stock springs will come out with a higher spring rate than eibachs. Might work very well with a set of adjustable Konis.

Use the H&R Cup Kit for extreme lowering.

 

KW suspension makes a coilover kit part no. 15227009. From what I'm reading it is a variant 2 setup, which is adjustable ride height and rebound. Expect to pay about $2000 for the kit. The speed shop I work at can't get them as of now, but you might be able to find them somewhere else. More info here http://www.kw-suspension.com/en/30_P...pe=all&zeile=1

 

that's what poor ppl with Civic used to do... and their cars were really bouncy...

 

^ That's because they cut too much. Dropping the vehcile lower and driving the spring rate far over what the stock shocks can handle.

Be conservative or upgrade your shocks and you won't have the bounce.

 

It's not the springs that make it ride hard it's the shocks and if you lower it remove the shock and trim the bumpers inside.

 

i would never cut my stock springs, i am looking into lower though just want an opinion on what to go with i have 19X8.5 on front and 20x10 on rear, i don't want to rub.

 

Got mine from Status http://www.statusautodesign.com/. But then that was over a year ago. Ask for Dave.

KW's is not a true coilover though and like NoCones said, the xfire or slk suspension is not designed for coilovers.

I've posted stuff on this with pics.

 

Dave at Status is pretty cool he is doing my car next week with Brabus shocks and Eibachs.

 

Does anyone make double-adjustable shocks for the Crossfire? Koni makes a DA line, but they're not available for the R170. I think the only ones available for the XF are the Sports, which have adjustable rebound, but what this car needs is adjustable compression!
