I am ready to upgrade the suspension on my 2005 turbo. I talked to my dealer to understand what parts and the amount of money required to use mopar upgrades. I decided on stage 2 at $1395.00. My question is this: Is there a better solution---1. better performance for same amount of money, or something equivalent to mopar stage 2 for cheaper. I have read numerous threads on different springs, shocks and struts. But have not been able to put together what the best combination would be and for how much. As always, I would appreciate your imput on either the mopar stage 2 coil over kit. or what you think is better

I also install the stage 2 coilover kit. Also purchase them from Tommy. Best price you can find any where. I was considering to go with the Eibachs but after searching info I read Tommy's opinion, who took off his Eibachs, convince me to spend the extra cash on the Mopars. The reason not many people have use this kit is because most of the guys who are interested in lowering their cars have already done it. If I can remember correctly the Kit was release just last November. I have had them on for about a month and have not bottom out at all. If you have the cash this is the way to go.

NJSTEVE is correct if you want to go first class this is the way to go. Only real combo of good ride, great handling, and lowering the ride more than a little.

Thanks guys, I will get a hold of tommy. I liked the idea of having some control on the height adjustment(stage 2), but did not see the need for the stage 3. Crewzin- I do not have the spec. sheet-I was reading about the coil over kits at the stealer dealerand thought stage 1 was not enough(I think it was only lowering springs), Stage 2 just right(new struts, shocks, and springs with some adjustment in height), stage 3 I think had more adjustments on heights and other micro adjustments--camber, etc. I am sure there is someone here that can explain it a lot better than I. How about it guys-others may be interested.[^]
