Lowering springs for '05 RT w/load level option
From what I can tell, there isn't a lowering spring available for a Magnum RT with the load leveling option. Am I correct? I hope I am wrong and someone out there can direct me to the correct part. I want to lower the car as I did my previous SXT but from what I read and checking with Eibach, there are no springs available for lowering when you have that option. Help!!!!!

Any spring that you use with the Nivomat suspension will just result in the "load-leveling" shock basically removing the suspension drop achieved with the spring. If you replace the shock with one that is "non load leveling" you can drop it no problem. Unless you are towing or hauling or something like that you most likely don't need the "load leveling" anyway.

lowering with load level system
So if I change the shocks I can lower the car. Can the load leveling system be disabled without having to change the shocks?

^^Yes, change the shocks
No, the load leveling "feature" is built into the Nivomat shock. |

^^^That right there is funny!
In the following pictures you'll see before and after shots. The before shots were with Eibach sportline springs and stock nivomat shocks. The after shots are with the same sportline springs and Eibach pro dampers shocks. Notice how the rear is higher in the before pictures. That's what the nivomats do. They wouldn't allow the full 2" drop that the sportline springs were giving. Once I took the nivomats out (after pics) and installed the pro dampers, the 2" drop of the sportlines was realized. before (with nivomats)   after (with pro dampers)   Last edited by Fireman2118 : 09-25-2008 at 04:31 PM. |

lowering w/load level system
Disappointing I will have to change the shocks. But that Black Magnum sure looks sharp!! I will have to decide whether to go to all that trouble or not. Other mods awaiting will move to the front of the line until then. Thanks for the feedback everyone.

The Nivomats are bigger in diameter for one. Here, maybe this will help.
Go to this link. It has pictures of the nivomats off an '05 Magnum along with part numbers. FS; AWD '05 Magnum Nivomat rear shocks - LX Forums Modern Mopar Muscle Last edited by Fireman2118 : 09-26-2008 at 09:47 AM. |
