Just FYI:
Pro-Felge, http://www.cruisertuning.de/ , has been offering H&R, KW, and Weitec Coil Overs for over a year now.

I believe the Mopar/KW's have different spring rates and valving than the KW made for the PT fitment that have been out for a while. Anyone know what the differences are- other than the color?

I spoke to the guys at the Block Party. The new suspension is just that, all new. Spring rates are linear, new shock valving for more rebound control in the rear. Looks like a really nice setup. I think max drop is 1.5" (at least in the rear) as it comes in the box, but rep there said that it can be modified by removing a spacer to get a little more.

Cal the guy at the Block Party told me a 3" drop in the rear if you removed the spacer but recommended it be removed for shows only. Really nice set up cuz you can go with a much wider tire in the front without worrying about the strut.

I have had kw coilover suspension on my 03 turbo since Aug. 02 I really like it. Went the performance instead of look route. I have kw coilover, progressive anti/ sways front and rear, tower brace,3 inch mandel bent stainless exhaust with only magna flow resinater, 8 inch wheels and 255/40/17 Es 100's. It handles great. This is my first post.PJ

Welcome PJ, we are mostly friendly here! LOL! I saw the KW coilovers at the block party and that is one nifty setup! Wish I had a few more bucks to make that happen! Looks like about a $1200 price on the hardware!

Does anyone know if the Stage 3 Mopar suspension is out yet? Has anyone put it on?

Ive had the H&R ciolover set from profelge since June and they are about 2.5" drop. Ive got 18/225/45 tireds and no rubbing. The car for being so low has been complamented on how nice it rides, xcept for those bumps that you would feel no matter what.But the over all ride and stance of the car is great.
