    Looking for Shelby Charger alternative front springs

    As titled my bro would like to have some alternative suggestions for front springs. Is there any other performance springs other than the LRE ones from FWDP and is it possible we can find some Mopar Performance AutoX 1" lowering springs somewhere? Or does someone have a good, low milage set of Mopar Performance Autox 1" lowering springs or any other brand? Thanks for the help.

    Quite Serious. I'd be willing to pay up to the same $165 they charge for the LRE springs. Granted if they were used probably less.

    For $200 you can get a ground control coilover kit. Then of course you need some better struts unless you run really soft coilover springs.

    If you want to keep things cheap you can even run an ebay coilover kit.

    It depends on if you want it stock looking or you are ok with it being more of a race type setup.

    That's a little extreme. I'll put it this way. I'm serious about getting either some MP front springs or a close alternative. Surely someone knows something about alternatives?

    Link to the ground control kit? Will that work with kyb struts and shocks?

    That is what I was wondering as I was reading this. I think you would have to mod the Kyb's as you do the Koni's.

    i didnt have to mod my struts that much? just had to grind down the bump stop perch on the strut body, then i could slide the adjustable spring collar over the strut body. i had to remove the UPPER spring perch and drill out the new perch so that it could slide over the strut shaft. works awsome! oh yah, i had to add a washer in between the strut hat, it wouldnt tighten enough if i didnt?
