Huge Update: All the latest goodies (Lowered, rotors, +more)

I just lowered the car TODAY! It looks great and turns like butter. :D Today I installed Progress Lowering Springs (1.8 drop) Tokico HP struts, and a Progress 22mm rear sway bar. Until today my car wasn't even equipped with a rear sway bar. Also pictured are the SP Performance rotors and Mopar airbag delete I recently installed too. Please let me know what you think of my ride and the new drop! :thumbup: Next up, I'm saving up for a carbon fiber SRT-4 hood, then will finally be able to start saving up for an engine swap!

It's definitely a bit bumpier than stock. But it's not a big deal for me, I love the way it feels. It truly does feel like butter going into the turns, no matter how fast. It grips what ever turn I throw at it like a panther, compared to before. :occasion9: The sway bar probably helped a lot too though.

10/10

looks good, my only suggestion is get matching door handles, black looks great with that color, but my opinion the handles pop out too much. everything else look really good, i love the way the ass looks lol

He took the pic while he was revving the engine I think.

^^ I was going to say the same things. First I thought his redline was at 2.5k, then I thought maybe he revved it.

Looking good man! I noticed you have the same slight dimness at the 3K mark on your tach that I do. Did you use the Vamp Design kit as well?

Looks real good man. I had that same suspension set up on my old car and I loved it. It will settle slightly, so it ends up being a little more than 1.8", personally, I thought it was a perfect drop.

looks damn good. very clean. love the color


butif i may make a couple suggestions.... color matched door handles, and smoked 3rd brake light and side markers, to tie into the tails a smidge better...

nice, clean CG you have there. my only suggestion would be to color match the handles (which has been mentioned a few times). they stand out just a bit too much. might also look good if you painted the black part of the taillights.

keep up the good work!

Noice... I like it a lot, really clean. I say get the mopar lip kit instead, and not go with the CF Srt4 hood... if you swap the engine, just get it cut a little underneath. I think the CF would throw off a very nice clean look you have going on.

Yep :thumbup: He lives here in Vegas and is really cool. I was installing my defroster light and it broke. He drove to meet up with me to give me a free replacement and gave me a ultra bright license plate light for the trouble. I ended up putting it in my dome light. Very cool guy, and sweet SRT-4.

Yeah I hate the handles. I get upset every time I see a gold SXT with the color matched handles. If I ever catch any on ebay or something, I'll grab them. Also what is "CG" I've never heard of that before...

I got mine from topbrakes.com , just put in your make and model and mine will be the first rotors under SP Performance. only $132 :D

I think it's the perfect drop too. How long do you think it will take to settle completely?

I thought about it. The mopar kit does look pretty good, but I'm gonna keep the stock look as far as ground effects and stuff for now. I really love the SRT-4 sideskirts. Maybe srt-4 skirts and a mopar front and rear one day. But I need to save my money for some power, this is taking too long!

As for the hood...I donno I love the look! Here's a PS I made not too long ago.

I have that set up minus the sway bar which i hope to buy soon, the drop is nice and same with the ride. Nice car you have there.

CG is Cinnamon Glaze.

Even though I've always been a 1st gen guy until now, I think TNK is right about the '03-'05 being a slightly different color than CG.


The car does look pretty sharp, and I agree 100% that painted handles and a Mopar lip kit on that unit would be tits!
