Default Pictures of Lowered Crossfires, SRT-6's?

Not sure if there's already a thread on this.. but it would be nice if you guys could upload pictures of your cars lowered on springs and coils, and the brand of which you're using. Feedback on how it is would be nice (especially on the springs) Thanks!

An oldie but goodie, my old Limited:





Achieved the drop using trimmed SRT springs (minus one coil)

Ride was harsh but predictable... tracked VERY well, very little roll and no "skittering" effect while taking high-speed corners over rough surfaces. Ride was as comfortable as falling down a staircase.

I won't be going this route on my new SRT, but I will be lowering it with B&G springs.

with the V8 in the front ,I didn't need to lower it i did lower the rear with LOL adjustable K W 's LOL because to adjust them you have to take the spring out. ,, it made the car too low and i wanted adjustable coilovers so i could balance the car ,,when the rear was lowered the front came up about 3/4" so Kw coil overs are a joke. here is the pic. look at the top of the spring where it fits into the body of the car see the purple adjuster. LOL <<LOL<<

here is the car. https://www.crossfireforum.org/forum...rear-only.html

Lowered on K&W's. Adjustability is a joke ..... a cruel joke at that. But for track duty I don't think a better combo exists for the Crossfire. The GTR would leave me on the straights but I more than made up for it under braking and in the corners. End result was a point bye. YES!

Here's mine. Lowered via cut SRT6 springs - 3/4 of a coil at all 4 corners. I also have Koni adjustable shocks. I love the ride...

I spent a couple hours driving in front of, next to and behind Len's car. Best looking Crossfire I have ever seen.

I'm just jealous I can't see it in person. I have admired his car for years. THE definition of "reserved aggression"

you look like youve got some serious negative camber in the front did you ever get it aligned?

I'm a few months late in answering this, but yes and yes.

I ran at -1.8° negative camber on the front.... -.8° on the rear. I was also going through that bend at roughly 30mph when that photo was taken. Car handled like it was on rails
