He makes it seem so easy. I’m really sitting here thinking i can do it myself & save money !
Great Video ! ! !
Thanks! That's always my goal. I think some people see springs and think it HAS to be done by a shop. If you've got the right tools and a little patience, it can be done. Thanks for watching! - Adam
Thanks for adding in the torque specs ! That really helps a lot most videos don’t include
Great video man. You covered everything. I was talking right along with you and you didn't skip a beat
Thanks a bunch for watching! -Zach
Good job!🇺🇸👍
No loud background music either 😆
Great video brother!
* Simply put, the OEM struts and shocks are valved to control the length and rebound of the factory coil springs. Changing to a lowering spring with a different rate and height will force the OEM dampeners to work outside of their intended operating range and thereby cause them to wear very fast and ride harshly.
Great video should help me with my charger same idea
I know you guys just started offering challenger parts. When is it time for the chargers? I have a 6.4 392 charger and would love to give it some love
✨Great Vid✨, What is the difference b/w the Sportline and Pro kits?
I have this setup on my 18 Shaker RT.. it sits perfectly 👌🏼 ... and no rub on rear 275s
How long did they take to settle
Jesus Perez had them on a year.. been smooth since install.
Make sure you get alignment done.
@@gregoreosRGV that didnt answer the question
Greg Schmidt they took 47 minutes to settle.
Greg Gonzalez cool, I wonder how they would do with 295 or 315s. I've got 295s on my SRT8, and am thinking about going with 315s but don't want to run into any unexpected problems
What if I have the nivomat self leveling suspension? I hear that it will not lower the rear. Any truth to that and what can I do?
I have an 2008 SRT8 and I feel like it’s low in general and I bought the Eibach springs but have not installed them because I feel it won’t really make much of a difference.
May I get the wheel well hight please. I am wanting to lower mine but I have a stock sport set up and sit the same hight as a srt
2012 RT Classic
I've been thinking about doing that with my SRT8, and would look good without all that gap
Would definitely look cool! Taking away that wheel gap always is a good idea. 😂 -Zach
Srt is already low why you want it lower?
@@cavitycreep yeah I know, but still not low enough and have been thinking about doing coilovers instead of springs so that they can be adjusted
@@lovethesmellofracefuelinth7374 whatd you end up going with?
@@renameduser5279 lol actually ironically neither, l replaced the rims with 17s and dropped it nicely. It looks awesome and even better when I put Mickey T 305x45s on it, but I still might do the coilovers for the adjustability aspect though
Would this work on an AWD model?
Just wondering but the direction of the bolts don't appear to matter on the rear cradle? I noticed the inside one was put on backwards. I know because it was a real B!!ch getting it back in the way it came out.
Awesome vid. I want to get these on my 16 challenger. Do I need any other parts or just the springs. Thanks
Blacktop Hemi no you do not need any other parts, just the tools that he explained
thanx
Thanks for watching, Juan! -Zach
What’s the part number for these springs?
I should've bought these. My SR springs are awful!
There’s no problem with yhe sport mode?
What size tares you running?
previous owner lowered only the front of the Challenger I have, and the front tires are wearing really bad on the inside of the tires. Probably will need to install adjustable A arms and have alignment done.
Definitely that or some adjustable caster camber plates! -Zach
Will these clear 275 front 295 rear ?
I just had the Dodge dealership install a set of 1-1/4” lowering springs. Looks awesome, rides as good as stock, but it’s making horrible knocking/banging sound from rear. Am I supposed to put shorter shocks in? Is the noise from shocks bottoming out? Please advise. Thank you
Rafael Rodriguez did you ever figure out why?
I noticed in the fine print that SRT8 models only drop 1.1 front and 1.2 in the rear. Is that because the SRT8 is already lower than stock R/T??? My SRT8 is also a Core model without the adjustable suspension.
Correct
On deck
My rear tires always wear out since I lowered my challenger. They said the “aligned it “ after they installed the springs. Any idea why this is happening ? It is a fucken bitch always getting tires every 5 months
looked at their website....I have a 2018 Scat Pack Challenger. When I went to buy..put in model and year and said not available for my year...do you have any further info on this?
Brian Maslouski you have to look by part number or all the parts for the challenger and scroll. Their website is difficult to navigate for this very reason.
I had same problem so I took the part number and bought it through summitracing.com
@@thatKidBinsane Yeah, I finally got the correct part and got my Eheim Pro-Kit springs. Sitting beside me in my office as I speak. Got a place down the street that said they could install for $280 for front, $280 for back and about $100 for alignment.
I want this for my r/t will the tire rub if i run a staggered setup?
Thats what I want to know since I have 275 and 315s
You guys should just buy coil overs
See i lowered mine in the back 2 inches and still has a good gap idk if i did anything wrong
Wonder if you have the nivomat shocks?
@@Sgt_vlz it was the springs the whole time lol I traded it in and got a charger right after
25:31 i just cant reistall that darn bolt! ,i tried 50 times...
It can be a real pain in the ass! It's really all about the position of the hydraulic jack. In some cases, you can jack up the lower control arm to get the bolt through one side, then drop the jack and reposition it to lift up the other end to get the rest of the bolt through the other hole. Hope that makes sense. It's tough, but not impossible! - Adam
How much of a drop was this one?
These springs produce different drop rates depending on what vehicle you have! Since our Challenger is an RT, we saw about 2" of drop. Please see the below rates for more information. -Zach
Estimated Drop for V6 Models: 1.9-Inches Front / 2.0-Inches Rear
Estimated Drop for R/T Models: 2.0-Inches Front / 2.1-Inches Rear
Estimated Drop for SRT8 Models: 1.1-Inches Front / 1.2-Inches Rear
I thought you were suppose to torque the front shocks with the car on the ground?
You are supposed to
WHAT THEY DON'T TELL YOU. At the end they tell you you need to get the alignment done. What they don't said you HAVE TO buy new A arms because you can not adjust your factory setup. So add $412 to this mod.
What happens if you dont? 🤔
@@rogerrameriez8912 you ride on about 75% of your tire because you can't adjust camber. You also have to buy adjustable camber bushings for rear. Otherwise
@@ragnar2729 No way! Just the rear or front end as well?
@@rogerrameriez8912 yeah, you have to get both. Adjustable a arms for front and adjustable camber bushings for the rear. And if you can't put it all on yourself its would of been a huge bill.
@Eric Teichmeier
What if I already had an alignment done do I still need to buy thos eextra parts u mentioned for the rear and front?
@25:36 you put the bolt in from the wrong side. Compared to 19:17
I was looking for a comment that caught this
Will this fit a rt Charger?
These guys will likely not fit an RT Charger. Eibach makes their spring super vehicle specific in order to get the best performance out of their product. I highly recommend looking into a set of springs made specifically for your application for the best results. -Zach
Save yourself the trouble and get coilovers instead.
What are the rear bolts torque spec?
Texas Beast-254 Im trying to find out the same
Everything else was well until they left us in the dirt without the rear torque specs
ugga dugga
Perfect way, of "how not to do it".
Are You hammering the screws to fit them in? Damn man...
Never, I mean never use an impact tool to tight them down. It's the shortest way to damage the threads.
but ........... ugga dugga
I had these on my 2010 R/T. Even with new Bilsteins it bounced WAY too much. Eibach support wouldn't do a thing about them. I'll never buy their stuff again.
My 2009 RT with new shock absorbers happened to me the same and the front does not feel smooth.
Do you mean like a soft bounce or a hard bounce because the hard bounce is because it’s a stiffer spring rate so it’s less forgiving if it’s soft idk what’s up with that cause it shouldn’t be
Maybe your springs are installed upside down?? .......Im in love with these springs
Thats a waste of money. If you want hassle free lowering. Make wifey ride in back seat. On the hump so it balances out. Done deal. More money to buy her more ice cream
