Important
What to Know Before You Buy
Trim Fitment Varies
Only three coilover options exist for the 2011-2014 Chrysler 300. ST XA fits V6 and 5.7L RWD only — not SRT8. KSport and KW V2 fit all RWD trims including SRT8. If you have an SRT8, choose KSport or KW.
SRT8 Electronic Damping
2012-2014 SRT8 models use factory Bilstein electronic adaptive dampers. All three coilovers replace the factory dampers entirely, so EDC is bypassed. KW offers compatible electronic damper delete modules if needed.
Installation & Alignment
Full coilover installation replaces struts and springs. Professional install is recommended. Budget for a four-wheel alignment after installation to preserve tire wear and handling.
Coilovers vs. Lowering Springs
Coilovers offer adjustable height and often damping. If you prefer a fixed drop at lower cost, see our lowering springs guide for the 300.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to replace my factory shocks when installing coilovers?
No. Coilovers replace both the spring and the shock as a single unit. You remove the factory strut assembly and install the coilover in its place. No separate shock replacement is needed.
Will coilovers void my factory warranty?
Under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, a dealer cannot void your entire warranty for installing aftermarket parts. However, claims related to suspension components may be denied.
I have an SRT8. Which coilover should I get?
Only KSport and KW V2 fit SRT8. ST XA is designed for V6 and 5.7L only. KSport offers 36-click damping at $1,116. KW V2 adds premium construction at $2,954.
Should I get coilovers or lowering springs?
Coilovers give you adjustable height and often damping. Lowering springs offer a fixed drop at lower cost. For the 300, we have a lowering springs comparison if you prefer that route.
What's the difference between ST XA and KW V2?
Both are KW-family products. ST XA is built by KW with 16-click rebound, galvanized struts, and fits V6/5.7L only. KW V2 has stainless construction, fits SRT8, and costs about twice as much.
