Yea. We use the 4-bar system from Air Ride, but we put coil-vers in it instead of the air ride shocks. It works pretty nice. Well balanced with the front. You can download the instructions from www.ridetech.com. Just instead of the air ride there would be coils in it.

Just the standard single adjustables are fine. The doubles don't give you much on the street, they're more useful in a track car.

Here it is.

The install of the kit was strait forward, only issue i got was the fact that the front spring hangers the was included in the kit was 1 1/4" shorter than the original.
If i was to use the included hanger the wheels where rubbing the fender in the front, so i used the original.
I have tested the kit for 150 miles of driving and i like it a lot.
The first thing i noticed was that i got a more softer ride comfort but still good handling.
I was able to use my 1" Hellwig swaybar

Bill,
If I may ask..........Are all the rear suspensions bolt on, like NorwayCharger's or do you have to weld it in like A-bodyJoe's or is it the choice of the installer?
Thanks,
Shawn

You"can" weld the kit from Air Ride, but it is a bolt-on kit.
If i had the kit when i was building the car, i would have weld it.

That looks awesome.  I am wondering why they supplied the shorter front hanger.  Does the 1 1/4 inch difference mess up any of the geometry with respect to the upper links?

NorwayCharger, I have a feeling that car is garaged at night, correct?
LOL

Seriously, that must be the cleanest Charger in Europe.
