The second-generation Chrysler 300C is perhaps one of the most iconic luxury muscle cars today. There’s so much to love about this icon of a car: a powerful 5.7L HEMI V8 engine, a capable stability control system, heavy-duty brakes, just to name a few. It’s polished, refined, and looks very sophisticated; someone who wants to feel powerful would definitely want to drive.
The car may look impressive as it is, but as avid car enthusiasts, we all know for a fact that every vehicle always has room for improvement. In the case of the Chrysler 300C, the wheel gaps don’t do any justice to the muscular fenders that this car has. Luckily for you, issues like these are easily solvable by using aftermarket parts like lowering springs.
With lowering springs, you can quickly lower your car’s height, eliminating those unsightly wheel gaps that ruin the appeal of your car entirely. Aside from reducing the car’s height, aftermarket lowering springs can also introduce some level of sportiness to your ride. Your car’s newfound lowered center of gravity will eventually produce some other valuable results that will make your ride much more enjoyable.
Below is a collection of what we think are the best aftermarket lowering springs you can get for your second-generation Chrysler 300C.

The PRO-KIT isn’t the only spring set Eibach has on their arsenal. They have another one in store for you, and this time it’s much more aggressive than the first. This spring set appeals to those looking for something to make their cars look and feel sportier. Come take a look at the Sportline Lowering Springs, Eibach’s answer to enthusiasts that demand more drop and sporty handling.

The idea of entrusting your suspension to an aftermarket auto parts manufacturer can be a bit scary, especially if you’re just starting out on your modification journey. They can claim that their springs can do this or do that, but trusting them may not be your jam, and it’s perfectly understandable. And besides, you may only want to try lowering your car by only a bit. So why not go directly to the ones who made your car for performance parts?
If there’s a company that knows how to take care of Chryslers, then that would be Chrysler themselves.

A Quick Reminder About Chrysler 300C Lowering Springs
Lowering springs may be effective and all, but we don’t recommend that you use them with your stock shocks. If you do so, you’re basically forcing your stock shocks to operate right at the very edge of their comfort zones. That’s because the factory shocks were designed to function within the ranges of the factory springs.
To put it simply, aftermarket lowering springs and stock shocks aren’t tuned for each other.
Of course, you can still use the uncanny duo if you wish. However, you should expect your shocks to have a shorter life span. It would be best if you partner those lowering springs with aftermarket shocks and struts. Or better yet, opt for a coilover setup instead.
