    Re: The smurf

    I was 250 front 185 rear before the swap. Now I'm 350 front and 185 rear on the street and I find it very well balance with the rear sway bar. Although, the Charger is pretty light in the rear an a two-seater, so prob why such a light spring works so well. A little more in the rear like your 224's might be nice for your application.

    I run 900's in the rear at the track.

    I have now decided I am going to get these rota slipstreams in 15x8 20mm offset and wrap them in either hankook r-s3 or toyo r1r in 225/45.

    Mother of god. I just did the single most amazing thing to this car. It has literally made it 300% better. When I originally put the engine/trans back in I bought all new oem shift rods and welded the pin the linkage pivots on. Apparently as soon as I installed it the weld was crappy and it broke. I have been driving it this entire time shifting like horse crap. I've never driven a manual TD before this so didn't really think anything of it at the time. I finally looked at it and rewelded the pin back on. It is like driving a new car. I am giddy like a fat kid about to get some ice cream for when I build a new engine/trans and redo the whole car.

    Picked up a pair of these from LKQ for $340. I ripped the foam out of the driver side to get repaired at the local upholstery place. Overall pretty good condition.

    Re: The smurf

    Test fitting the srt seat. The seat sits at the same height as the stock seat, but the back is quite a bit taller. I basically cut off the omni mounts and the srt mounts, and then welded the omni mounts to the srt tracks.


    Also, since srt4 seat bolsters are always chewed up on the driver side, you can swap the passenger seat to the driver side. All you have to do is swap the hinge/bracket that has the reclining handle from one seat to the other. If you swap them, you get a good seat on the drivers side and the chewed up bolsters will be inboard on the passenger side. Passengers are not important anyways.
