The Eibach rear shocks look...
The Eibach rear shocks look very similar to the factory units, bolting right in place of the stock shocks. Internally these shocks are set up to offer a good ride while cruising, but offer greatly improved performance while driving aggressively.
After lowering the car from the lift, we immediately liked the stance of the car and the way the tires filled the wheel openings in the fenders. Unfortunately, Florida rain showers kept us from performing before and after skid-pad testing, but we have driven the car both normally and aggressively since installing our Eibach Performance Suspension System, and so far we're thoroughly impressed. The car looks much better and is regularly complimented thanks to the approximate 1 1/2-inch lower stance. Additionally, we've noticed that the car handles amazingly as we take the corners on roads we normally drive. There is really no hint of under or over steer, and the car is well-balanced, staying flat with all four tires planted when cornering at speeds high enough to get our adrenalin pumping.
As well as the new Challenger is engineered, the aftermarket seems to keep manufacturing parts that just make it better. We must admit that it's a blast to modify our modern Mopar for improved performance and handling, and appreciate Chrysler for finally building a V-8, rear wheel drive, two-door coupe for us to enjoy. We also appreciate manufacturers like Eibach and Summit Racing for engineering and providing components to help us enjoy our Challenger even more.

With the car lifted off of the rear suspension, we also changed the rear coil springs to the new Eibach springs supplied with our Pro-System-Plus kit.

With our rear suspension modifications complete, we torqued all of our bolts and moved to the front of the car.

Both upper ball joints need to be disconnected so the factory struts can be removed and replaced with the new Eibach performance units.

Using a coil spring compressor, the factory front struts are disassembled so the hardware can be used on the new Eibach struts.

With our upgrades complete, we bolted the wheels back on and dropped the car onto the alignment pads to check front-end alignment. With the new components, alignment stayed perfect so we were ready for a test drive.

With the new Eibach struts...

With the new Eibach struts assembled, they can be bolted back in place and the upper ball joint can be reinstalled.

Notice that as well as being shorter to lower our Challenger. What this picture doesn't show you is that the Eibach spring is a dual-rate coil spring as well, offering a comfortable spring rate for normal driving and a stiffer rate for aggressive cornering.

Although the new front sway...

Although the new front sway bar is noticeably larger in diameter than the factory unit, it bolts right into place using the factory provisions. The sway bar comes with new bushings and only takes a few minutes to install.

Pulling out of the shop, we immediately liked the look of our Challenger with its new lower stance. Notice how the tires fill the fender openings now for a better stance and more intimidating, aggressive look. Though Florida rain showers have so far kept us from real track testing, we can tell you that our suspension upgrades greatly improved our car's aesthetics and handling without sacrificing ride quality at all. This is a gratifying weekend project that you'll see every time you look at your new Challenger and feel every time you drive your car through the corners.
