Rear Springs for Challenger

[erik70rt]

I ordered a set of rear springs from ESPO that are supposedly 1" over stock height.  When I pulled one of my originals and put it next to the new ones, they are exactly the same in appearance.  Check out the pics. 

If they are 1" over stock, should they appear exactly the same?  I don't want to install them if they are not what I ordered.  ESPO is closed today.

That's the pre-load.  I'm guess that once they have the weight of the car loaded on them that they will sit at different heights.

Well, on they go.......  LOL

Stand on them and measure the distance they compress.

After putting them on the car, they are definitely stock height.  Oh well.  At least those stupid air shocks are now off the car and it rides much better!

Post a picture of how your car sits with them!

It's your car but for me that is the perfect height for a Challenger. Only thing is hopefully they won't settle. I wish I was closer to some of you guys, I have a set of XHD springs that must have been redone and they sit way too high for my tastes. I'd love to trade them for a set that sits like original but shipping doesn't work from here.

Looks like it sits just a bit lower in the back than in the front. IMO, I'd lower the front just a tad. I prefer a slight rake or an even look, but I dislike the front looking higher than the back. Gorgeous car!

Front torsion bars look to high to me?

I'd say that it higher than stock. To me stock height always looks like the springs are worn out. Like other said adjust the front down a bit. That will change the rear height some also.

Then he will need A front end alignment!!

That is true , but with new rear springs it will be a good idea to do so anyhow.
