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

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 Challenger spied exercising supercharged Hellcat Hemi V8
Wed, 23 Oct 2013One of the prime complaints against the Dodge Challenger is that, even in SRT8 guise, its 470 horsepower is responsible for hauling over 4,200 pounds of vehicle. For comparison, the 420 hp in the Ford Mustang GT only has to deal with 3,618 lbs. Things only get worse from there, as the higher-performance variants of both the Mustang and the Chevrolet Camaro are far more powerful than an SRT8 without adding on much heft.
So what is Chrysler to do? The correct answer is add a whole lot more grunt to its hefty two-door and even the odds. That's where the all-new Hellcat engine comes into play. We reported on this engine in May, and suggested that the Hellcat, a supercharged powerplant based on a 6.4-liter V8, would easily generate 500 to 570 hp and could likely arrive boasting more than 600 ponies.
Chrysler's ace in its sleeve has now been spied testing, with a number of Hellcat-equipped Challengers running the potent new engine both in more urbanized areas and under the sun of Death Valley. The hoods on these testers have been raised to accommodate the engine, and that camouflage over the fascias of these prototypes is there to hide a larger air intake. We also note what appears to be a new split grille under wraps. As for power output, our spies are now suggesting a Viper-equalling 640 hp from the Hellcat-equipped cars.
Dodge Challenger R/T Shaker and Mopar '14 Challenger up the retro appeal
Wed, 06 Nov 2013The reborn Dodge Challenger might be getting a bit long in the tooth, having been on the market in its current form since 2008, but Chrysler isn't going to give up on its brutish, full-size two-door just yet. For this year's SEMA Show, the Challenger will be getting a new Mopar edition, as well as a retro-cool shaker hood on the 5.7-liter, Hemi-equipped R/T models.
As we mentioned last night, the Shaker Package will cost $2,500, but includes the Super Track Pak (new steering rack, brake linings, upgraded shocks and 20-inch Goodyear Eagle F1 Super Car tires), a $595 option on its own. The shaker hood result in a performance bump of any kind, but the blacked-out, pop-up scoop is a nifty feature that hasn't been seen on a production car since the Ford Mustang Mach 1 in the early 2000s.
The Mopar '14 Challenger (pictured right) follows the cues of previous Mopar Editions, which have included the 2010 Challenger, 2011 Charger, 2012 300 and 2013 Dart. Only 100 Mopar '14 Challengers will be produced, and they'll include the new shaker hood, Mopar's distinctive blue graphics and wheels, and whatever is pilfered from the accessory catalog.
McLaren, Koenigsegg, Toyota, Ford, Dodge and Corvette Lego kits announced for 2021
Tue, May 4 2021Lego has announced a slew of car-themed sets for 2021. The six kits comprise nine vehicles and fall under the brick pusher's Speed Champion line of official OEM-licensed kits. News of their arrival comes from German toy retailer JB Spielwaren's pre-order listings, which show three single-car sets and three dual-car sets of matched marques. Starting with the McLaren Elva roadster, the kit consists of 263 pieces and is finished in blue. It seems to have a difficult time capturing the curves of the real-life Elva, but there's only so much you can do with a bunch of plastic blocks. Lego has made several other McLaren kits before, including the Senna, 720S, and a more advanced Senna GTR for the Technics line. Next up is the Koenigsegg Jesko, made up of 280 pieces and finished in white. Though the real-life Jesko is still curvy, this kit does a better job of replicating its aggressive maw, vents and cantilevered rear wing. Rounding out the single-car sets is the 299-piece Toyota GR Supra in yellow. This marks the first time Toyota has lent their license to Lego. Again, it struggles a bit to represent the curvy Supra, relying on printed details like logos and headlights to identify. On the other hand, the Chevrolet two-car does a stupendous job with the 1968 Corvette. The C3 is instantly recognizable as such. The C8-R race car it's paired with suffers from the same issues as some of the previous cars, though. The set contains 512 pieces, and funnily enough the C8 driver has short hair while the C3 driver sports a period-correct wavy mane. The next set is a 627-piece Mopar-themed pair, including a purple (Plum Crazy?) 1970 Dodge Challenger T/A and an SRT top fuel dragster. The race car is spot on, but the Challenger was probably tough to make given the width restrictions. It looks a couple of pegs too narrow compared to the wide proportions of the real deal. Last but not least, the Ford set contains a Bronco R and Ford GT Heritage Edition. Consisting of 660 pieces, the set does an excellent job of representing both cars. The GT looks faithful in its Gulf livery, and the Bronco R looks more like a real Bronco than the actual Bronco R race truck. All in all, it's always fun to see more Lego sets with real cars, and we're glad to see more manufacturers added to the roster. The single-car sets are recommended for ages 7 and up, while the double-car sets have an 8 years and up rating. Price in U.S.
