That looks hot! It just needs a little drop.

I was thinking much the same thing.....it's missing something.....a little more aggressive stance and it would be mean....

Grinner's Magnum is about what I envision as far as ride height....that would look super nice on this magnum...

funny thing is, I havn't lowered it at all.
I added a little weight in the back with the sub box and all but it has the towing package so that aint it. I believe the towing package itself has a lower sit than without. My wife's looks a good inch taller than mine.
Dunno about the front. pulled up to two other magnums so far, it's a half inch lower. I didn't drop it any though.
(yet)

Were the two that you pulled up to R/Ts? Looks like the SXT and the R/T use the same springs. The added weight of the Hemi is probably why.

Looking good, I esp like the way the 45's keep some meat on the wheels.

yeah, my wife's RT and my best friend's RT are both higher than my RT. I know SXTs are higher because of less weight on the same springs but I'm lower in the back than any stock RT I have seen so far.

Thanks for the compliments guys.

I want to lower it, but it's the family car and want to save my wife and kids from the harsh ride of stiffer springs. I lowered my last car and although I loved the look and handling, it was a tough ride for my family especially on the freeway. I have to take a ride in a lowered magnum sometime and see how it feels.
