Threw on the first install on my "not a project car daily driver" by fitting the 15mm/20mm spacers. Dramatically fixes the sunken in look of the stock setup. Seeing the wheel openings filled better width wised does make me want to lower the car even more now to solve the tire to fender gap issue. Just hate to give up too much in the way of driveability and ground clearance. Looking at Eibach and Swift right now. Seems Swift may be the way to go with a milder drop.
Side note, im used to 300mm wide tires at all 4 corners out od my sporty cars so these little 235's on the front are absolutely adorable.
A viper is the only dodge I'd consider. Nearly bought one before the GT350, but the wife wanted me to get a car with a backseat. It wasn't worth the fight and probably happier with the GT350 anyway as I'd be scare to drive the viper this hard in competition given their current prices.

I think you made the better choice. I like raw and analog, but the Viper is super raw and analog! Too much on the razor’s edge of danger for my tastes. 🤣
Took a week off work and did a bunch of stuff that I accumulated over the winter..
-paint correction/carpro ceramic
-ark exhaust
-15mm spacers all around
-swift springs
-side mirror blackout
-ppf front

Finally fun to drive again!
Would love to hear feedback and more pics od the swift springs. Considering them as I'm trying to get a better stance without sacrificing the ride or losing too much clearance. The Eibachs seemed a bit much with their advertised 1.6 drop up front.
Went with the Pilot Sport All Season 4 tires. I'm glad I didn't go for something that leaned more comfortable or quiet. These are significantly more quiet and better riding than the OEM tires, even though all the reviews place them as the worst of the bunch in that regard. I have to drive an hour to the dealer to get an alignment Monday But afterward I'll be able to see how well they handle compared to stock. So far I'm super happy though!

Woot! Woot! Congrats! You’ll quickly eat up that 50 mile break-in period, then you can experience that magical hook-up. 😜👏🏽👏🏽

Alignment is done and I gave it about 100 miles before getting on it. I floored it at about 3000 rpm is first gear and the car dead hooked, still chirped the tires (and triggered the TC light) shifting into 2nd at about 6000 rpm, but dead hooked after the shift as well. It's hot as ***** here so I didn't want to get on it too hard. Very happy with the change! And the alignment was way out of spec, that helped a lot too.
Next up is fixing my brakes and my car will be back to 100% perfect again.
Nothing radical. Just used a little Pink Stuff on the exhaust tips to clean and polish them up.
They look great! Which product? I almost got a toothbrush to see if it would help.

One would think tires this skinny would have issues keeping up with the mechanical set up, but nope. (Provided good @$$ tires are installed!)
