In this video I get redemption on my past installation failure of the springs and upper trailing arms.
My channel is dedicated to the 5.7 liter HEMI, though we touch on the 6.4 (392, Scat Pack, and Daytona) and Hellcat (both base and Redeye trims), continually adding modifications to get the most out of it. I try to bring content that is not only informative but hopefully entertaining. I do not want others making the same mistakes I did and hopefully save you some money in the end. I am dedicated to taking my 5.7 liter Hemi in its stock form as fast as it will possibly allow me. My current list of modifications is extensive but there is plenty more to come. If you are modifying your 5.7 Hemi, this is the channel to watch. I provide unbiased, I have no ties to any business or sponsors, opinion on options that I have purchased or have done extensive research on. Sit back, relax and enjoy the video.

17” Race Star Skinnies up front (Hossier 27.5/4.5/17)

How is it driving with the BMR stuff?
Nice I just ordered my 6.4 intake manifold yesterday I have all the wiring parts I need to use the the runners.
Awesome content bro! Got a question for you… I know you have a 392 intake manifold, but if you had the opportunity to use a ported and Polished 6.1 intake manifold would you choose that over the 6.4 or no?
Great job on both mods. But you dont want the car to squad. You need either coil overs, vikingos ajustable shocks now or Lakewood 50/50, that way the weigh of the car will transfer to the tires, and not the car. That is why you also need to have the proper aligment and the proper tire pressure, so maximize the contact patch of the tire to the ground. Good luck, I would like to see those 60' times with the shocks mounted.
Like to know more about your tuning process and how each tune affected your performance good or bad. Looking to get the Diablo T2 and PCM for my 5.7 by summer before I start doing any engine bolt ons. I wonder if lowering the rear suspension cradle would have been easier all around. Great content thanks.
Remember is not a lower spring is a drag spring that can help u to launch better of the line and get better 1/4 mile time thats why that 1320 scat pack is so good cuz the set up they got i was thinking about getting one its cost around some where 650 👍
Can definitely tell you're becoming more comfortable talkin' on camera. Now that my headers leak is fixed, I'm workin on gettin a cervini shaker hood kit. (I shoulda just got a dang shaker from the dealer, but they're sparse where I'm at.) After that I'm plannin on either some high-flow cats, exhaust cut-outs, or both hah. 6.4 intake manifold is also planned in there somewhere to make up for a low-end torque loss with my cam. If you had to pick a mod you'd go for after a cam/cat-back/headers, which would you pick? Keep up the good vids, man.
They assembled the rear subframe as a unit at the factory, have seen the bolt issue before on many Challengers and Chargers. Glad you guys addressed it!
Great video man, those trailing arms look like pretty solid units! Thanks for sharing the install. Cheers!
It all starts with simple stuff bro then u graduate to much mo bettah thangs 😅 bmr's and springs today…. rear gears,and nitrous later..💪💪 good job bro keep it!!!
Man you getting it ready to roll should leave good at the track!
Would of been easier to loosen the 2 carriage bolt and the subframe would lower and the upper trailing arm bolts just slide out
Love the Content. I Love Jay Green and He rocks. The car sounds awesome.
🔥🏁🏁👍 I did all those suspension mods to my charger but nobody does suspension mods I’m glad to see that you did did them. I cut my top bolt out with a hacksaw and put the new tension arm on I put BMR trailing arm on my challenger it’s the inaugural edition so it came with high-performance suspension no aluminum and bigger bushings but my charger suspension was very weakened
Any plans for changing the front springs?
Did the lowering springs end up setting better over time?
You installed those upper trailing arms backwards. Bushing end is supposed to be at the chassis, non bushing end at the knuckle. FYI
Nie video! So exactly what is that control arm link called? I need that exact part…do you happen to have the link you can send me in a reply for that part? Thx my man!
