Roly Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 I know it's like beating a dead horse, but I just looked through the European market and realized that the H&R makes springs for the Freemont 2011 and up 4cyl fwd/awd for about $320...plus shipping. just a food for thought.

jkeaton Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 Maybe people in Europe are shorter, they need lower cars, so theres an actual market to support them?? Lawdog1911 and Marius 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobitz68 Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 I know it's like beating a dead horse, but I just looked through the European market and realized that the H&R makes springs for the Freemont 2011 and up 4cyl fwd/awd for about $320...plus shipping. just a food for thought. Is it the same part number for FWD and AWD? If so, the "American version" probably fits both too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roly Posted February 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 yes, they offer two different springs for gas or diesel both for fwd and awd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roly Posted February 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 Lowering has always been a yeah or nay, but I will admit it does change the look and feel of the car. I live in Miami and never have to deal with snow or rough terrain. The only other option is to swap in R/T springs and rear swaybar for flatter steering and a slightly lower center of gravity.

Marius Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 Maybe people in Europe are shorter, they need lower cars, so theres an actual market to support them?? Too funny. I don't see the use personally, I go camping most of the summer and the way it is the DJ makes it to pretty good spots without dings and scratches or ...difficulties. Personally I don't see the point. The RT's suspension handles my driving in hard turns upwards of 130 kmph. No matter how much I'd lower it I wouldn't try to match the Mercedes wagon speed in those turns. I can easily tackle them with the Mercedes with 160+, the DJs top is 140 with my butt cheeks tightly squeezed. It's a family car, comfortable family car. Save your money or put RT suspension on it.
