Default Cheap Sspension Upgrades...

Does anyone know of cheap suspension upogrades for the magnum? Such as front tower strut bar, larger sway bars, etc...?
Or what has everyone else done to tighten up there magnums suspension since I've noticed it gets pretty loose up at higher speeds.

Eibach and Hotchkis make sway bars. I have the Hotchkis TVS system (springs and sway bars). Great improvement.

+1 for Hotchkis props. I just added lowering springs to the front. Only ride I have ever lowered in my entire life that actually rode smoother afterward. Handles good. I just did it for the rake.

Will the sway bars work on the AWD cars.

I too am looking at tightening things up on my '05 rwd RT. Trying to do in stages. Q is, what will best get rid of body roll, the coils or sway bar?

Help, I'm messin' with the wife's car.
