Cool Overall information for suspension and camber

Hello, I was crawling the Internet and the forum to get information on camber mods and suspensions options we have for our cars and the lowering possibilities. I thought I would gather all the info in one post so for the others who come later doesn't have to read every single thread.

I'm not a expert so if I'm wrong at any point don't hesitate to point it.

I'll dive this post 3 parts :
1 - Camber solutions
2 - shock and springs
3 - Coil Overs

1 : Camber solution

While searching I found out that the only thing you can play with on the R170 base is at the front for alignment and at the rear can't. The OEM bolts offer to little to adjust, the easy solution is to replace those 4 bolts with : Febi Bilstein 7752 bolts 7$ each. The more advanced and expensive solution would be to get the K-Mac front adjustable camber kit. :

Chrysler Crossfire (2004 - 2008) Front Camber & Caster kit #502016 J - K-Mac Suspension

Some people would say it's a reliable option and others says its crap ( source MB forum )

As for the rear camber stock they can't move a inch. So there are several upgrade options.

1 - K-Mac rear camber adjustable kit as costly as the front they offer a wide alignment solutions :

Chrysler Crossfire (2004 - 2008) Rear Camber & Toe kit #502026 H - K-Mac Suspension

2 - Ground Controll adjustable suspension components, the full kit is 1k$+ but offers unlimited configurations. :

NeedsWings Performance Products. Ground Control Adjustable Rear Components

3 - Meganracing rear adjustable camber 180$

2004-2008 Chrysler Crossfire Rear Camber Kit Control Arms : Megan Racing


4 - MBarts rear adjustable camber 330$

MB Arts - Adjustable Rear Toe Links (R170)

5 - eBay Toospeed rear camber 200$ ( I don't recommend it )

6 - The egmcartech solution

7 - The DIY solution which can be found at this link : https://www.crossfireforum.org/forum...tml#post714875

2 - Shocks and Springs

This section I won't detail everything since shocks and springs is wide and can be personalized in many way for example Koni with H&R springs or Eibach etc etc.
But I will list some most popular combination kits that are available.

1 - Koni

2 - Ground Control

3 - Bilstein

3 - Coil overs

So this is the best of the best you can get at suspension upgrade but is also a bit more costly. There is low end until high end solutions I will list some in here to get a better overview of the popular stuff

1 - KW V2 coil overs between 1500$/2000$

KW automotive GmbH - Gewindefahrwerke, Rennsportfahrwerke, Sportfedern - KW Coilover Variant 2 inox

2 - Bilstein B14 / B16 coil overs ( which I prefer over the KW ) between 900$/1800$

Bilstein Chrysler Crossfire SRT-6 B14 Coilover, Bilstein-Shop.com

And

Bilstein Chrysler Crossfire 3.2 B16 PSS9 Coilover, Bilstein-Shop.com



3 - BC Racing ( low end )

Of course this list is not exhaustive. I hope it helped if got anything to add or to correct please shoot ahead.

I'll try to help as much as I can

Johnny.
