I finally got some pictures of my Magnum and they turned out awful but I will post them anyways. The only mods I have so far are the 20" Axis Ordems and custom Magnaflow/Flowmaster exhaust. I also have changed out the stock head unit in place of a Alpine 9813 running Sirius along with 1 JL 10 and Kicker amp. I am tapped out so it will be a while before I will be able to do anything else. I may go ahead and break down in the next couple of weeks and do the Eibach drop. Let me know what you think. Also, I've noticed some of you that have 20's, your cars look lower. Does the R/T set lower than the SXT?

Pretty cool 'Blacked Out' look. You need to get the SE / SXT front headlights.

Cheers,

Magman 3,
Yes, for some reason the RT does set lower han the V6 Models. I was parked right next to an SXT in the Best Buy parking lot and could swear than my RT was about 2" lower.

Alright, I couldn't bare the gap anymore. One week after installing the 20's, I had to break down today and drop the Magnum. I went to a local shop here in Atlanta (Butler Tire) and it was fate, they had the kit instock. They ordered two kits, one is for rapper Too Short's 300C with 22" wheels like mine. I bit the bullet and went for the other. They installed the Eibach Pro Kit which actually dropped my Mag 1 3/4". I know the kit advertises a 1.3" drop all the way around, but the shop measured before and after. Now I'm satisfied! I've got a before shot (which is in a earlier post), and an after shot.

Man, leave you're ride just like it is!!! Airbags would be the worst decision of your life. Yeah it looks hot, but the ride is awful! I think you're ride sits nice. I would have slammed the Mag but I've been there before with a S-10. It looks good but speed bumps, drive ways, and pulling out of gas stations is rough. I could have went for the Sportline kit which drops the Mag 2", but once it settles, that 2" turns into 2.25-2.5". Now I just have to get rid of those chrome headlights and I'll be in business. I thought about just adding a brow to the chrome lights but I'm not sure how to go about doing that. Thanks for the comment undropped, and don't take my comments to heart, I love the airbag scrappin' look. If I were you, you're ride sits low, I would look into a supercharger for that 2.7! That would be sick!

Undropped,
I have to say I take back what I said before. You should definately bag it.

If you guys are worried about scraping bottom, they do make airbag systems, not just the airbag, that actually act like hydraulics. so you can have it low or high depending on your mood or terrain you are going over
