Mopar Spring Question

[Octanewide]

I know this is an oldWe thread but didn’t want to start a new one. So I just ordered the Mopar lowering springs for my 2018 WB challenger. The question is regarding drop and rubbing. I’m currently running 315/35’s on all 4 corners. I’m slightly worried about if the front will rub. And how much drop are we talking about with these springs. The 315’s are slightly taller than the 305’s. Thanks.

@Beast707 is lowered and has the 315's out back and I know he changed his front tires but not sure if he went with 315's. Maybe he'll chime in.

I'm on H&R and have plenty of room up front with my 305 G2's. Mopar springs don't lower all that much so you'd be fine if I had to bet on it.

The spec for these springs is either 19 or 20mm (I forget which honestly), that's basically 3/4" drop

I saw about 5/8" upfront and ~9/16" in the rear, even after over a year of "settling" time.

Not much drop in the rear where it needs it most. There must be 2 inches of gap back there.

Agreed, kind of...

I initially wanted to have it level out, but I also wanted to not lose any forward rake either. With my game being VMax, I didn't want to give up any downforce, so ultimately I was happy.

They gave me ~1-2mph in the Standing Mile near as I can tell.

I’m not quite the speed freak you are! I’m just tired of it looking like my Ram Rebel.

If you remove that foam isolater might get 3/4's of an inch drop in rear. That combined with the 315's difference in height might be close to an inch in drop which still is a win considering the stock gap. I used to have a pic of when I measured it but definitely at least 2".

One of our members did that and went through more than a couple of half-shafts...

(I've lost one myself)


Proceed with caution.

If you blow up my pic you can see I still have plenty of room especially in the back. @BULL I can agree with that just thoughts per say.

I still have mine on.
