This guy truley had the best Lx/just plain mopar content out here sooo specific really useful for diy non mechanically inclined people he worked at a Chrysler shop for 7 years he knows what he’s talking about !!
Appreciate it! 👍
Looks good. Sounds perfect! 👍
Looks good and sounds great!
Nice rehab project 👍
Looks great, nice job!
Thank you, and I appreciate you watching! 👍
Nice , I’m about to do the same thing next week with the molar 1” drop...thanks for sharing the technics keep up the great work.
Thanks man, and I think you'll really like the car afterward. They just don't look right without a small drop, and I think these springs are the perfect amount plus it still rides great. Thanks for watching! 👍
Do you have a part number on those lowering springs?
Those wheels looks fantastic and the stance is spot on.
Thanks man! I was really happy with the way it came out 👍 Appreciate you binge watching my videos right now too 😄
@@ReignitedAuto what lowering kit did you use
Great looking car..excellent work👍
I appreciate that, thank you for watching!
Lookin good 👍. It's finally sitting like it should. Factory stance is terrible on most cars. A little drop, wheels and tires, completely changed the look of a car. Great job! I'd buy it if I was in the market😁
With that spring in the front, when you put it in surprised you couldn’t turn it! When I did the exact thing I ran into that bit I was able to turn the hat but who knows maybe it’s different!
Keep it simple video very nice 👌 I like the changes you made.
Thank you for watching!
The 300 will always look amazing
Looks great good job
I am going to change wheels next project.
Nice! Wheels make all the difference!
Im getting my dad old one i kinda dont want it but it super clean with 35.000 miles so thats really good you make me want to get it know thanks
Nice look been thinking about doing mine as well with those exact springs!
I was really happy with them, they provide a ride just like stock but with a better stance.
What brand

Ótimo vídeo
Meu sonho é ter um 300c
Sucesso a você....
God I loved everything in this video 💙💙💙 keep it up
Thanks man I appreciate you watching! 👍
Love it nice ride
Thanks Marvin! 👍
Beautiful job nice cruising car now
It really was a nice car. Unfortunately I got news a few months back that the new owner totalled it. 😬
I like this guy, also a car that looks awesome.
I appreciate you watching!
I have the same springs on my 2013 300c varvatos edition.Takes a little while for the springs to settle, but once they do its a good look.I get compliments from other 300 owners often.If you're not gonna airride, these springs are the next best thing.
Are they reliable, comfortable?
@@TTayla Had them about 2 yrs now.No problems.Comfortable for me.
I put the srt struts on my 2015 300c as well really gives it some tighter handling? Have you done the strut towers yet what are your thoughts on the rear one?
Dude thank you so much for you videos. I love my 300c i'm going to rebuild using your guidance. I do have carbon build up in my throttle body from the egr valve. but I'm ready for the challenge. Again thanks.
You can do it! 💪
It came out beautiful!!!! The Chrysler 300 has this classic look . My only dilemma with this vehicle is that it has some electrical issues. Other than that this vehicle has an amazing look!!!!
I always like them myself since they came out. For whatever reason my wife has a particular hatred for the 300 😂
That came out great sounds good looks good and still reliable nice combination! The back may be a little high but that’s cause there’s no body in the trunk🤔. Someone’s going to get a nice car.
All the bodies are on back order currently 😄
Good job👍. Like the look. How about blacking out all the chrome. That would look sick.
I agree, that definitely would top off the look. Thanks for watching 👍
I just got a 2007 300 and was noticing today how high it sits, but this is a hell of a lot of work to lower the car one inch. It might be less effort to raise the planet up instead.
Great video!1 thank you for sharing! I have a 2013 300 C and I would like to order a pair. What is the name of the springs pls?
Great vid! to save hassle on the rears, its easier to drop the whole rear cradle than to struggle getting the control arms back in. just an fyi! cool vid though! Car is looking Badass. I run a 14 awd charger RT and modding it is the most fun ever. Looking forward to more videos.
Appreciate the tip, I'm likely to do this again in the future on another similar chassis so I'll definitely look into that, thanks! And I appreciate you watching! 👍
@@ReignitedAuto anytime man! I'm digging the channel, keep it up! Looking forward to more
Is there a video for dropping the rear cradle to change the springs?
Have a question. I put lowering springs on my charger. Should I go with small er shocks because when I had the car off the ground the spring would be higher than the center control arm where the spring goes.
Do you think the measurements of your wheels will fit mines.. I had issues with rubbing against the rim in the front
Great videos mate, I have a 2006 Chrysler 300c and I need to replace the thermostat can you give me step by step instructions please?
Great video!
About to do this on my son's new to him 2011 300C. We figure at 114k miles we should replace the struts and shocks as well.
Are stock height units ok with these? Was looking at using bilstein b6 shocks/struts
Stock height struts are fine with the mild drop that these springs have 👍
That intro made me laugh so hard for some reason
Yah very nice and thanks good video. 👍
Car looks great. I am considering a similar drop on my 2018 C. This would be the first car that I have lowered. I did notice the back seemed a little higher than the front. Was that just me, or is there is a fix for that? I also have 20's as well. Did you have any issues with rubbing?
Yea the rear definitely was sitting higher than the front. Generally when you install lowering springs they will settle a little bit after driving for awhile. In this case, the rear did settle about another 1/2" which made it look more in line with the front. I couldn't have been happier with this mod, no rubbing at all and factory ride quality. 👍
Nice car, did you measure before and after. I like to do the same on my srt8 and i need to know if you have nivimate rear shocks if yes how low the rear drop. Thank you
I did not measure afterwards, rear drop was about 1" though.
Are the springs rwd you using for the awd ?
So I have a question, I have a 2021. Will lowering it effect the ride quality?
Hi great video question what you used to get the muffler sound like that 🤔
The previous video in the series shows the install of the exhaust and where to get it. Its all part of a playlist on my channel. 👍
I've heard mixed things about the Mopar lowering springs (P4510854) fitting the 2014 300C AWD. Do you know if they do for sure fit? Thanks!
As I understand it, they do not fit. Sorry 😞
@@ReignitedAuto Thanks for the info.
Great vid, what's your exhaust setup?
SLP loudmouth cat back, I have a video of the installation in this same series 👍
I bought my 300 with cut lowering springs on but im tryna raise it up to oem srt8 springs bc im too low and i be scrapping and im tryna fit 20’ srt 5 spoke wheels but i need help on what parts to buy
I've been going threw an re watching some of your videos thinking about doing a 1 in drop on my mag. My question is since you already done it. How's the alignment afterwards. I know factory bars can only adjust so much. But I didn't notice you change anything over to adjustable. Just curious before I attempt it I don't want my wheels cambered in at all.
Shouldn't be an issue, the drop is so mild that it won't affect it very much at all. I had no camber issues and no wear issues at all. 👍
@@ReignitedAuto apprentice it boss man. I love the lowered look as long as I can keep my wheels aligned properly lol. About to place me a order hopefully they don't take forever to get here.
I did my springs with some straps and on Jack stands 😂
Where there's a will there a way 💪
Yah had you dropped the front tires off a little faster it would have slapped that concrete. Looks good. Those wheels are exactly what I want on my Magnum RT.
I've put them on two different cars now, I think they look great on almost anything 👍
Once you realized that you had to drop the back of the lower control arm on the back springs, did you have to take the shock loose on the passenger side of the car?
Nice Car i 💙 Mine...
Your video has been immensely helpful! Installing lowering springs on my Chrysler 300, as well. However, as it is my first time using a spring compressor (exact same style as in this video), how do you know when it is safe to take off the nut on the top of the strut hat? I'm using a combo ratchet instead of an impact because I'm a little nervous. The bottom of the spring, where the spring sits in the rubber, is already loose and able to move around. There's not really much more that I can compress the spring, very little thread left. Please help. Thank you very much in advance.
That's pretty much it right there, if the spring moves freely on the perch you're good to remove the nut 👍
@@ReignitedAuto Thank you so much! I was able to successfully remove the factory spring. Didn't have to use spring compressor for new spring since it was much shorter. So, that was a plus. But now, the issue I ran into when fastening all the nuts that hold the strut in place is control arm nut seems like it is spinning when I hit it with the impact, and the sway bar end link bolt isn't lined up just right. It's not quite level. Any suggestions on how to fix these issues? Thanks again!
@@dizzlecopter7264 you will need a large pry bar for both. First, apply pressure with the pry bar to keep the ball joint from spinning while you try to tighten it. Next, use the pry bar to lever the sway bar end link into place. These are both perfectly normal actions you'll have to do to perform this job. 👍
I have a 2019 Chrysler 300 Touring and I am thinking about the mopar lowering springs. Just an inch around. What else other than the springs should I do. I know an alignment afterwards. I have factory black alloy 19” OEM rims.
With just a 1" drop you won't have to change shocks or anything, unless they are in bad shape anyway. I got away with just an alignment and had no issues. I really like the Mopar springs because the ride is identical to stock, but even though it doesn't sound like much the 1" drop is perfect. 👍
@@ReignitedAuto Thanks Man. 💪🏾💯
Did u have to change tha sway bar end links or they still tha stock ones?
Nope, stock ones work just fine, the drop is mild enough that you cam just swap springs and go. 👍
I recently purchased a 2019 300S and I am thinking about lowering about an inch like you did. Would I be better off using factory parts or can I get away with aftermarket? Also have you had any issues after lowering it such as tire wear? Do you need to cant the rear wheels? Any help would be appreciated?
Look into the Bilstein suspension system for the 300c
Oh man. So this size will fit my 2007 300 ordered 20x8.5 +35mm and 225/35zR20 . the company bi ordered from did the measurements
It should fit with no issue, especially with just 225 tires. 👍
Could you tell us about those new rims as to width and offset, tire size? Tnx
Rim Diameter 20 Inches
Rim Width 9 Inches
Offset 18 Millimeters
Backspace 5.71 Millimeters
I believe the tire size was 245/45/20 👍
Paint the calipers red. There’s a good video on RUclips buddy’s do it yourself where the guy paints his calipers 2X rust oleum primer and 2X Red. He painted his silver rims black. Looks awesome. No unbolting the calipers using his elastic bag technique.
I can’t wait to be a mechanic it least my dream job.
What springs did you put on?
I got Eibach sportlines on my 300c
How bad did it throw off the camber specs?
Nice work did the rear drop anymore...
It did actually, looked much better after driving it around for a bit 👍
@@ReignitedAuto thanks my brother
What kind of springs did you put on her?
I have yet to install the same lowering springs but I’m hesitant to do so because I have 22s on at the moment and subs in the trunk. Should I risk it?
What is your wheel gap currently? These springs only drop 1" so I still think you'd be fine.
Is bouncing the wheels like that the professional way or just the cool way of putting the wheels back on?
Haha, actually the training schools will specifically tell you not to mount wheels that way, but because of my basketball background that's the way I've always done it 😄
I have a 300 c in the UK and I had to get a new front bumper because the drive height was too low, catching speed bumps, so I wouldn't want to lower mine. Does the US not have speed bumps??
Get police dodge charger original equipment manufacturered springs and struts, those will bring up your 300c's ride height just make sure you get them from the same year models. They're basically the same cars.
Tell me about your exhaust. What did you do.
Would those lower springs kill those strut and shock quicker ? I did that on my Honda Accord, factory shock die in one year.
If the drop were more than 1" then yes you'd want to change shocks/struts. But the drop is so mild in this case that the factory shocks are just fine. Thanks for watching!
Hi, I got a Accord too, same thing happen to me, after twice shock/strut replace, I go back to stock….I miss the lower stand so I wish I can do this to my 300C like this guy did!
After those springs were installed was an alignment required?
Alignment is always recommended after any suspension change, but I did an alignment because I replaced the tie rod ends at the same time. Can you get away with not doing an alignment right away? For sure.
You seam pretty trust worthy how do you raise a Chrysler 300 touring 3.5l 3 inchs id like mine lifted can you give me an idea thank you God bless 😐
I've never done it before, but I just checked ebay and found a few strut spacer kits on there that look like it should do the job 👍
www.ebay.com/b/Lift-Kits-Parts-for-Chrysler-300/33585/bn_1358866
What kind of aftermarket exhaust do you have installed ,please.
It's a Loudmouth exhaust from Street Legal Performance. I have a video just prior to this one that shows the full install! 👍
What do you do when it's time for reassemble and the bolts free spin when you try and tighten all the nuts back up??
Which bolts specifically?
@@ReignitedAuto upper control arm
Upper control arm ball joint nut
I'm so frustrated right now. I thought I could get this done today. I got one done. And I'm stuck on the last nit
Gomez gotcha, what you do is take a long pry bar, stick the end in the coil springs and lever down onto the top of the upper control arm, this puts pressure on the tapered shaft and allows you to tighten it properly 👍
I have a 07 Chrysler 300 SRT8 I'm just wondering since it has a automatic trunk leveler or whatever it's called how would I go about that with those springs I can't just use them I would have to go coilovers?
Get coilovers fs
What sz rim 20x9 or 20x10? I just picked up a 300c this is the look im looking for.
20x9 👍
@@ReignitedAuto thanks boss
Wat size Lauren Springs did you get for this car or do you have part number on hand? Thanks nice car by the way.
Where did you find the wheels and springs? I’d love to get those wheels
Wheels are from Amazon, from a company called OE wheels. The springs I can't quite remember where I got them from.
Thanks so much, great vids. Clear and you’re not obnoxious:) love it
Hi what year is this 300c please
The only question I have yes I can install the springs myself, but how exactly am I gonna get my wheel alignment back together without some proper tools and help. Wheel alignment is needed every time you mess with your suspension
Truthfully with only a 1" suspension drop, the alignment won't be that far off. It's definitely close enough to get you to a local shop for an alignment with no problems at all. If you want to try to do a home alignment, that's another video altogether. 👍
@@ReignitedAuto I know this is an old video and a response is a long shot, but was your rear camber off at all? I bought the D2 Lowering Springs (-1.8" Front, -2.0" Rear) and from what I understand I will have to use a Camber Kit on the rear to get it close to spec. I am considering these if it means my rear camber won't be too out spec. Thanks in advance.
@@dilligaf575 with a 1"drop the camber change is negligible. 👍
Put d2 coil overs, way easier. Simple as pulling out the front and replacing and the back I need to lift it from the middle and used some claps on the springs.
What exhaust set up you have on there
Street legal performance loud mouth exhaust 👍
Link for the springs ?,
What did you do with the exhaust?
SLP loudmouth exhaust is on it. I showed the install on the previous video 👍
Hi nice job but i have a question i want lift my car i saw u went short on the spring how can i lift mine to put 22
I'd be surprised if you have to do anything to the suspension to fit 22" wheels. The 20" wheels still seem somewhat small in the wheelwells, If you ran a small enough tire sidewall I'd think they would bolt right on. But I've never tried it before.
I'm running 22s with 245/35/22 tires on front and 265/45/22 on rears they are stretched since my off set on rears are wider but they fit perfect no issues rubbing.
What year is this Chrysler?
Can you provide the part number for the set ty.
Is he located in ATL
The car looks hot and sounds hot. Had a new one for my wife in 07, and just bought another one with 31,000 miles on it from a snow bird her in cape coral fl. Is there a 300-C Chrysler club you can join. Just wondering and interested Tom of cape coral fl.
Will any dodge rim fit on my 2013 base?
I'm not going to say all, but most of them will. Any 300, challenger, charger, magnum will all be the same.
It is so wrong to lower a car without doing the same for the shocks and sway bar adjustments . I used the eibach sport kit and it lowered 3.5 inches .my fender wells are even with the top of my tires , and handles like a gocart . I love it now . I also used a special front shock tower brace , and a hidden trailer hitch to tie the back of the car together.
For a 1" drop? You might be overstating it there.
What are the springs called and what drop is it can u post the link to get the springs?
They are Mopar stage 1 springs and they are available direct from the dealership. They are supposed to be a 1" drop all around 👍
Okay thank you so much
Do a Chrome delete and that’ll be it!
hows the comfort is is similar to stock i have eibach prokit and im not happy rides too hARSH
Rides basically identically to stock, really happy with them 👍
