Hi it's milo I don't know why I thought you had a Daytona sorry but thanks for answer my question bud,,,,now the Mopar springs you got from the dealership ? I asked at the dealership in Miami they said they don't make anything for my car yet can you send me any info on the Mopar Springs so I can ask my dealership I would like to lower my car but I don't want to mess with warranty so the Mopar will be a good choice for me thank you very much I prescient your feedback.

How does this kw springs affect the suspension settings and the ride? Is it stiffer? I want to drop my car but my wife complains about the stiffness. Are they too stiff?

SpeedGarage

Gabriel Bianchi With the KW springs all the suspension settings still works just like on the stock springs. You can feel the difference but it's not night and day difference. It's a tad bit stiffer than stock springs but yes you can notice it a bit.

I'm sure you won't be disappointed. The Mopar springs are a little less stiff than the KW. So if you want to lower it only 1" and have a bit smoother ride, than Mopar would be a better choice for you. Mopars are pretty good as they are. Ride really great.

Nice,but the part that would've been nice to see was how u got the upper control arm out. Did u use a puller tool? And in the rear did u need to move the exhaust piping?

SpeedGarage
hostage42 sorry I didn't want to make the video too long and boring. The upper control arm was a pain in the ass so what I eventually did was compress the spring and shock together and pull it out without disconnecting the upper control arm. I didn't have the right tool to take it apart and totally forgot to mention it. The rear I didn't have to disconnect the piping but just moved it as much as I could by hand and slipped the bolt out.

Hi thanks for replying last question I have an SRT with track mode and sports mode does your Daytona have that ? I also looked on the Mopar website and was not able to find any Springs to lower mine Man I am desperate I would love to lower my car without losing warranty I really appreciate your feedback and the website where you got the Mopar springs thank you very much

SpeedGarage
Milo Milanes Mine is also SRT not Daytona so yes I have all the track and sport modes and it still works with the Mopars and KW.

I have bought a 2017 challenger already lowered but the ride is very stiff. do have any recommendation on how to soften the ride it seems every freaken bump I go over the bump hard. Thanks

SpeedGarage

+like2fly Can you tell what color the springs are? And what model car?

like2fly

SXT and red springs

SpeedGarage
+like2fly Ok explains why they red because for Scatpack/SRT/Hellcat either come blue (Mopar) or yellow (KW) or if you go air suspension than it just depends what brand you go with. If it’s red than I’m not sure what brand it is but if it’s bumpy than the only option would be to get different springs. No other way around it.
