I want adjustable arms because I don't want some tech messing with the offset washers
that I presume the car has for stock alignment.

I would maybe do the alignment before
I take it in.......and I would ask the dealer to just check and verify it.

I have found with other cars that they can be lowered to where the control arms and/or axles
are horizontal, and it is still within the alignment tolerance. Then sometimes only the toe needs to be set.
There is a viable alternative to replacing the OE springs with an aftermarket set to lower the car's ride height, and I totally spaced on mentioning it in my last post: replacing the OE springs with a set of SRT springs.

I haven't heard of many people doing it in the last few years, but that was all the rage back in 2010-2012 I would say. I even caught the fever and did it to my 2011 Challenger. I was very pleased with the results, I recommend it to anyone looking to lower their LX without going too low (and they don't already have an SRT obviously).

You can probably expect a little over an inch in the rear but right at or a little less than an inch in the front if you were to do this mod. That sounds like what you were looking for instead of the more pronounced drops that the aftermarket springs will get you.

Anyway, just some food for thought. Cheers!
