products engineered to work together for everyday road and track day handling.
Hop Not Rear suspension full Kit Includes Stage 1, Stage 2, and the Adjustable Sway Bar Link. These items working together will yield the best results in
controlling your six speeds wheel hop. In fact, we're so confident that we can
Cure Your Six Speed Challenger's Wheel Hop that we back our products with our
limited 30 day money back guarantee. Please see the "Special Offer
announcement" at the top of this page for the details. Stage 1 is a must
have for anyone seeking that performance car driving experience. Your Dodge
Challenger, Charger, Magnum, or Chrysler 300 will drive and handle like it's on
rails. Although, not all automatic driven cars experience extreme wheel hop,
they do still share the same cradle movement issues. This unwanted movement at
the cradle also minimizes the effectiveness of other suspension upgrades such
as aftermarket springs, coil overs, stiffer sway bars, etc. The Hop Not Stage 1
kit should be your first suspension upgrade for your best results. Stage 1 consist of four CNC machined spacers, two special
flat washers, and a tool/sleeve that’s provided for easy removal of the OEM
plates located at the front cradle mounts. The proprietary spacers are designed
to attach to the bottom of each rubber cradle bushing/mount and eliminate the
movement that the rubber mounts allow at the cradle or sometimes referred to as
the rear sub-frame. Each spacer is machined to extremely tight tolerance levels
to ensure that the small tapered lip of the spacer seats against the inner edge
of the sleeve found in each OEM rubber mount while bottoming out against the
inner spacer at the same point. Dodge Challenger, Charger, Magnum, and Chrysler 300 owners
with automatic transmissions can enjoy the same handling improvements as manual
transmission owners by eliminating unwanted movement felt at the rear cradle.
The boat rocking sensation felt as the car is rocked back and forth at highway
speeds is eliminated with this kit. This upgrade is a great addition to your
Challenger’s suspension, even if you are currently using aftermarket sway bars,
coil overs, lowered springs, etc. Consider adding the adjustable sway bar link when installing
Stage 1 on a six speed car. Warning: the machined spacer kit must be installed as a set.
The front spacers are a different design than the rear. Never drive the car
without all four spacers installed. Installing less than the full set will
allow part of the rear cradle to move at the ones that are still rubber only
and cause failures at the ones that are rigid mounted. Please contact us if you
have any questions. Stage 1 must be installed prior to adding Stage 2 in any
application. Stage 2 is designed
to enhance Stage 1 once the rear cradle movement is addressed. Expect tight,
performance car handling and wheel hop control like you've never experienced
before. You're missing out on one of the most dynamic performance improvements
you can add to your vehicle if you think this is strictly a six speed issue.
Although, automatic driven Challengers, Chargers, Magnums, and Chrysler 300
don't suffer from the extreme wheel hop that most six speeds vehicles are
experiencing, they do all share the same unwanted movement at the rear cradle
bushings/mounts. The boat rocking sensation mentioned in the Stage 1 summary
and the suspension flex are keeping you
from enjoying the full potential of your vehicle's IRS (Independent Rear
Suspension) even if you've already added stiffer springs, sway bars, coil overs,
etc. We accomplish this level of performance with our proprietary CNC produced
brackets that allow us to attach a horizontal stabilizer from each wheel hub to
the rear mounting area of the cradle itself. The rear cradle frame is by far
the strongest item under these cars. All late model Dodge Challengers,
Chargers, Magnums, and Chrysler 300 have a five link IRS (Independent Rear
Suspension) that offers a comfortable ride, but makes performance handling and
wheel hop or sometimes referred to as power hop difficult to control. These IRS
systems have ten rubber bushings per side, twenty four in all if you include
the four that are used in the cradle mounts. Stage 1 eliminates the movement at
the four cradle bushings/mounts, but then it's up our Stage 2 kit to control
the flex of the IRS components. Although, these cars don't suffer from the same
type of axle wind up that the older versions did, they do endure a tightening
or flexing of all the IRS arms, links, and rubber bushings that must be
controlled. Stage 2 works with the normal up and down motions of the suspension
components with minimal effects on ride quality. Stage 2 allows the IRS arms,
links, and rubber bushings to tighten, but then it briefly holds it in
avoidance of becoming a repetitive hop as traction is gained and lost. Each lower aluminum
bracket goes through a five cut CNC process then receives a special bend that
allows us to take advantage of two mounting points at the wheel hubs for
maximum strength. You could work your cars suspension from full extension to
fully compress and won't have any clearance issues...we already have. The upper
stabilizer mounting brackets start with the same rear machined spacers used in
our Stage 1 kit, then we weld on a special CNC produced angle bracket and
locating pin that utilizes existing holes in each side of the cradle's frame. Plant the rear tires like never before. In fact, you'll have
the ability to launch harder than ever, even if you launch with wheel spin
because our Stage 2 Stabilizer kit will make the tires bite within a few feet.
Understandably, the type and size of the tires you're using will have an effect,
as well as road conditions and the level of power you're putting to the wheels,
but you'll experience major traction and handling improvements in any
application as compared to without having the Hop Not products. Stage 2 is now available for lowered vehicles. Just be sure
to select the correct item when you check out. Please note; the standard Stage 2 Stabilizer Kit and the
Stage 2 Stabilizer Kit For Lowered vehicles will not interchange. Only install
the Stage 2 Stabilizer Kit for Lowered Vehicles on Vehicles that have been
lowered and the standard Stage 2 Stabilizer Kit on vehicles that have a stock,
unchanged ride height/stance. If you've lowered your vehicle any and haven't
replaced the OEM shocks with shorter versions you may have to push the
suspension up enough to install our Stage 2 Stabilizers at the time of install
because although you've lowered your vehicle, the stock shocks will let the
suspension hang to the full extension while the tires are off the ground. Also,
be aware that the stock shocks are the limiting/stops and they only have a
certain amount of travel before they will bottom out. For example, a stock SRT
Challenger shock sits at about 2 and 1/4 inches as measured on the shock body
itself on a car that has not been lowered and maxes out at about 5 inches of
travel, so if you've lowered the car two inches you'll have very little travel
left before the shock is bottomed out. This may cause a very harsh ride and
eventually cause the shock to blow out or cause other issues. With this in
mind, it's best to replace the OEM shocks when you lower your vehicle
accordingly. Please see our FAQ section for additional tips and
information about this product. This adjustable sway bar link is a key part in controlling
your cars wheel hop. It works with Stage 1 to ensure that all is “not equal” to
the rear wheels. The link is preset at 1/4 ” longer then stock length but, should
always be compared to the stock link at each install. Do not exceed 1/4 ” shorter
or longer in any application. This new Hop Not adjustable sway bar link is based on an OEM
link; only threaded, and then a 3/4" hex connector is added to make this
unit adjustable. The hex connector uses 12mm right hand threads on one end and
12mm left hand threads on the other for easy on car adjustments. A small groove
marks the end with the left hand threads. The Adjustable Stabilizer Link should be installed at the
right front location. This creates a slight weight difference at the rear
wheels/tires to work along with Stage 1 and or Stage 2 in controlling wheel
hop. The adjustable link is pretty much intended for six speed cars unless you
have the need to even out or preload your cars suspension system. Total package for six
speed Challengers Exhaust Solo Performance 3” exhaust with High
Flow Cats Raw American muscle on the outside and
a refined, non-invasive performance exhaust note on the inside. The dramatic
sound difference from outside to inside is accomplished by months of research
and development plus specific product design for the 2008-PRESENT Challenger
SRT-8. All of us at Solo Performance are very
proud to bring to the Challenger community our free-flow MACH X-3 exhaust kits.
These kits are a 3? mandrel bent stainless steel converter back exhaust. We
have had a lot of fun designing for this very “challenging” car and would like
to thank Ontario Chrysler, London Chrysler, Taylor Chrysler, Bruno and Kevin
for the use of their cars and their invaluable feedback. The Solo Mach X-3 exhaust kit works
equally well on the automatic or standard SRT-8. Exhaust Kit Specs Front Muffler Assembly Right and Left tail pipe assembly using

has been tuned by Johan M. @ diablotoona@gmail.com I have all the
emails and data that support the tune and it is loaded in the Diablo) It was built with handling in mind and has lots of torque
and spins to the red line great! It is road race ready!! This Challenger is fast and has very low miles. It has not been raced has not been on a Dyno, and has not been beat on. It looks like the day it came off the show room floor. It has every option except for Navigation and Sunroof. It was built for fun, but based on the mileage it has not been driven and it’s time to let it go. Anyone is welcome to come see it and inspect it. Basically it is a brand new car with all the goodies already done. Buy it and drive it or buy it and race it. I am not selling it because I need the money I want to build another project which for me is what the passion is. With that said I will not be giving it away, sorry, but some of the emails I get on things, is nuts. I have some of the original suspension parts and the Cats, but I used the heads and throttle body on a truck I was tinkering with. I have a clear title, so it is ready to go - no dealing with a bank and waiting. |

Nine cars we wish were convertibles
Thu, Apr 16 2015The snow has melted, the sun is shining, and the days are getting longer. At the Autoblog Detroit office we feel like our winter hibernation is finally over. And with warmer temperatures come visions of opening up a convertible roof and cruising. You know, just turn up the bass and let the Alpine blast. There are plenty of droptops on sale in the US, and more on the way (like the 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata). That said, we always want more. More! More! More! In that spirit, we cooked up a list of nine cars aren't currently sold as convertible, but ought to be. Check out our picks, below. Summer's just around the corner. Subaru BRZ / Scion FR-S In some parallel universe, this car actually happened. Toyota showed us a FT 86 Convertible concept at the Geneva Motor Show in 2013, and we immediately started licking our chops over the thought of a rear-wheel-drive convertible based on the Subaru BRZ and Scion FR-S twins. These days, the MX-5 Miata is our only option for affordable roadster fun. A competitor to the Mazda seems like a no-brainer to us, especially since we have naught but good to say about the BRZ/FR-S as-is. Unfortunately in our present timeline, this car is as likely for production as a BRZ STI. Which is to say, not very. Dang. Lexus RC F Unlike the FR-S, a convertible from Toyota's luxury division might actually see the light of day. The current IS convertible is about to be phased out, and the Lexus LF-C2 concept from the 2014 Los Angeles Auto Show is really a thinly veiled look at a possible RC convertible. A droptop RC would be plenty good, but let's reach for the starts. What we really want is to run topless in an RC F, complete with that powerful, loud, 5.0-liter V8 engine. Lexus says the RC F is a true competitor to the BMW M4. If that's true, it only makes sense for Lexus to mimic the Germans and offer its performance coupe in a folding hardtop form. Maybach Landaulet Maybach is bach back, recast as an upper crust trim level for Mercedes-Benz. The Mercedes-Maybach S600 is seriously awesome, and more luxurious than a trip to the spa. But why not go a step into the truly ridiculous levels of extravagence and bring back that open-top Landaulet? We think your local princess will love this idea, and with better S-Class bones underneath, Jeeves will have a pretty enjoyable ship to steer, too. Besides, with that slick new Mercedes design language, a Landaulet redux wouldn't be nearly as hideous as the old model, pictured here.
Everything is absurd in Fate of the Furious, including the car hacking
Fri, Mar 10 2017Truly ridiculous and absurd scenes and situations are a staple of the Fast and Furious series, And earlier trailers made it clear that Fate of the Furious wouldn't be any different as soon as the submarine appeared. However, it turns out the craziness has spread to the topic of car hacking. The hacker is Charlize Theron's character, Cipher, and she can apparently control any car in the world, and many of them at once. She uses this to great effect in creating giant rivers of rampaging automobiles through city streets, and waterfalls of cars flying off of parking structures. And if you look closely at these groups of vehicles, it is evident that she can even control older cars that have no automated steering or throttle capabilities whatsoever. We would ask how that works, but we know that's a silly question in the Fast and Furious universe. After all, this is the series that featured Dominic Toretto flying through the air over a freeway to catch Letty Ortiz and land on another car. And they survived. Your logic has no power here! We also noticed that Cipher seems to have a preference to hack vehicles from Fiat Chrysler. In the trailer, multiple Chrysler 300s, a Jeep Cherokee, a Jeep Grand Cherokee, and a Dodge Challenger all get some prominent screen time when they're being hacked. We're not so sure this is good product placement for the brand, particularly considering this is the same company that recalled over a million vehicles to fix a software issue that could lead to hacking. Maybe this is the trade-off for having the Dodge Challenger Demon as a hero car. There's more to this trailer than Chryslers and hacking though. It turns out that Cipher has been following Toretto for a few movies now. Also, characters fly with jet packs, and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's character shoves a torpedo out of the way, on ice, while hanging out of a truck. Check it all out in the video above.

Dodge Journey and Fiat Freemont engine-cover recall affects 350k CUVs
Wed, Jul 22 2015FCA is recalling 349,731 examples of the 2011-2015 Dodge Journey and Fiat Freemont worldwide to better secure their engine covers. Of these affected vehicles, there are 144,416 in the US, 43,679 in Canada, 46,231 in Mexico, and 115,405 elsewhere. About 10 percent of them are also still at dealers, according to the automaker. Only models with the 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine are affected by this campaign. According to the company, the engine covers on these vehicles can be dislodged, and this can pose a fire risk if the loose part comes in contact with hot exhaust components. Warning signs of this happening include a noise under the hood, burning smell or a light on the instrument panel. The problem was discovered after three incidents on rough roads in Chile, and there was one minor injury there. According to FCA US spokesperson Eric Mayne to Autoblog, there have been eight occurrences of this issue reported in the US, but these were all related to "heat damage." There have been no reported injuries here. To fix the problem, dealers will install new engine-cover retainers on the affected models. These repairs will begin in August. As always for recall repairs, owners won't be charged. Statement: Engine Cover July 22, 2015 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - FCA US LLC is voluntarily recalling an estimated 144,416 crossover utility vehicles (CUVs) in the U.S. to better secure their engine covers. Engine covers in certain vehicles may become dislodged. If they come in contact with exhaust components, it may pose a fire risk. This condition was discovered during an FCA US investigation of three incidents in Chile. In each case, the vehicle had been driven extensively on unpaved or uneven surfaces. The Company is aware of a single related injury, described as minor. Affected are 2011-2015 Dodge Journey and Fiat Freemont CUVs equipped with 2.4-liter, four-cylinder engines. FCA US will install upgraded engine-cover retainers in these vehicles. The remedy will be available when customer notification begins next month; service will be performed free of charge. Vehicles equipped with six-cylinder engines are not affected. Additional Journey and Freemont populations also are subject to this campaign. They comprise an estimated 43,679 vehicles in Canada; 46,231 in Mexico; and 115,405 outside the NAFTA region. Of the 349,731 total vehicles subject to this campaign, approximately 10 percent remain in dealer hands.
