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

a refined, non-invasive performance exhaust note on the inside. The dramatic
sound difference from outside to inside is accomplished by months of research

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

equally well on the automatic or standard SRT-8. Exhaust Kit Specs Front Muffler Assembly Right and Left tail pipe assembly using

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. |

Dodge Dart falls short of Consumer Reports Recommended, Caddy XTS and Lincoln MKS, too
Thu, 22 Nov 2012The Dodge Dart, Cadillac XTS and Lincoln MKS all failed to earn a "Recommended" rating from Consumer Reports. When it came to the compact Dart, the organization's testers thought the vehicle offered a quiet cabin, solid-feeling chassis and nimble suspension, but the new model ultimately fell short of the coveted rating due to powertrain issues. The institute's reviewers found the base 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine to be underpowered and noted "drivability issues" when the available turbocharged 1.4-liter four was paired with the optional dual-clutch transmission (some of our editors disliked it paired with the six-speed manual). CR also dinged the latter powerplant for sounding "raspy." For what it's worth, we think the forced-induction engine offers an excellent and playful exhaust note, but that's just us.
As for the XTS, CR lauded the car for its luxurious cabin, but the vehicle's experience was dulled by its finicky CUE infotainment interface. Overall, the big Cadillac scored much higher than its cross-town rival from Lincoln. While testers found the American luxury sedan to offer a quiet ride and quality fit and finish, they felt the MKS delivered a "cramped driving position, ungainly handling, uncomposed ride, and limited visibility." Ouch. At the end of the day, both cars fell short of rivals from Japan, Germany and Korea. Check out the full press release below with more details, along with CR's musings on the Chevrolet Spark and Lexus ES.
Chrysler Recalling 700k Vehicles For Ignition Switch Woes
Tue, Jul 1 2014General Motors isn't the only automaker with ignition switch problems. Chrysler is fighting it too and is now announcing a recall of 695,957 examples worldwide of the Chrysler Town & Country and Dodge Grand Caravan minivans from the 2008-2010 model years, plus the 2009-2010 Dodge Journey. According to a statement from Chrysler, the models have a bad wireless ignition node detent ring in the ignition switch, making it possible for drivers to appear to have the key in the "Run" position but for the spring not to fully engage. It can then slip back to the "Accessory" position and shut the car off. If this happens, the vehicle loses power steering, brake boost and the airbags. There is some disparity about the number of vehicles affected under this recall. In its statement, Chrysler claims that it covers 525,206 vehicles in the US, 102,892 in Canada, 25,591 in Mexico and 42,268 elsewhere. However, the recall announcement posted by The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration lists an estimated 438,109 vehicles in the US. Chrysler spokesperson Nick Cappa told Autoblog via email that the reasoning for the different figures "will become clear at a later date." To fix the problem, Chrysler will install a new detent ring in the vehicles. It will begin contacting owners soon, and obviously the repair will be free of charge. This isn't the first time this problem has cropped up in these models. Chrysler issued a recall for 248,437 vehicles in 2011 for certain 2010 model year examples. A few weeks ago, NHTSA also began investigating the 2008-2010 model years of the affected models for ignition switch problems. At this time, it's not clear whether that evaluation and this campaign are linked. Chrysler told Autoblog that it has no reports of injuries related to the problem. Scroll down to read the company's statement and the NHTSA recall report. Statement: Expansion of Wireless Ignition Node (WIN) safety recall July 1, 2014 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - Out of an abundance of caution, Chrysler Group is expanding a previous safety recall to install a more robust WIN module detent ring. A previous recall in 2010 included 196,000 Chrysler Town & Country, Dodge Grand Caravan and Dodge Journey vehicles built August 2, 2009 through June 17, 2010. The expansion includes an additional 695,957 vehicles manufactured January 29, 2007 through August 1, 2009.
Does the future of Fiat-Chrysler include Dodge?
Thu, 13 Jun 2013Wards Auto reports the future of Dodge is looking uncertain. Fiat has more or less laid out it's game plan for the next few years, and while the Chrysler, Fiat and Jeep lines are set to receive plenty of love, Dodge isn't so lucky. Fiat has already hobbled Dodge significantly by splitting off the brand's trucks into a separate Ram line.
Wards says that after the Avenger rides off into the sunset early next year, Fiat-Chrysler won't replace the model, leaving a gaping midsize hole in the Dodge lineup. The report also cites unnamed sources as saying that at least two other current Dodge products will move to the Chrysler line.
One of those could very well be the Grand Caravan. Chrysler has already made it clear that it plans to trim redundancy between its minivan offerings, but it has yet to clarify which other vehicle could sail under the Chrysler banner moving forward. Either way, such changes to the product line would theoretically leave Dodge with just four models.
