What to Know Before You Buy
Your Engine Changes the Drop
The same spring kit will drop a V6 Chrysler 300 differently than a 300C with the 5.7L HEMI. Heavier engines compress springs more. The Eibach Pro-Kit, for example, drops a V6 300 -1.2" in the front but a 300C HEMI -1.3" in the front. We break down every trim's expected drop in each product section below.
RWD vs. AWD — Choose Carefully
The Chrysler 300 is one of the most popular AWD sedans on the LX/LD platform, but most lowering spring kits are RWD-only. The AWD front differential changes the geometry and spring requirements. Only H&R offers explicitly validated AWD fitment for both V6 and HEMI models. If you own an AWD 300, don't gamble — get the correct kit.
Alignment & Camber Correction
Drops under 1.25" usually stay within factory alignment specs. Anything above 1.25" will likely need aftermarket adjustable upper control arms or camber bolts ($300–$600 extra). Always budget for a professional alignment after installation.
Factory Shocks Still Matter
All kits on this page work with factory shocks. The 2015+ Chrysler 300 uses standard Monroe dampers (no electronic adaptive damping). If your shocks have 60,000+ miles, they may be worn. Installing new springs on tired dampers results in a bouncy, poorly controlled ride. Consider upgrading to Bilstein B6 dampers ($100–$150 each) if your shocks are worn.
Eibach Pro-Kit Lowering Springs
The Eibach Pro-Kit is the most trusted lowering spring on the LX/LD platform and the top recommendation across LX Forums, 300C Forums, and Reddit. What separates Eibach from every competitor is trim-specific spring rates — the rates are precisely engineered for the weight and suspension geometry of each sub-model, so a V6 300 gets a different compression profile than a 300C HEMI. The result is a noticeable drop with near-stock ride quality, making it the ideal spring for daily-driven luxury sedans.
The Pro-Kit (28105.140) covers both V6 and HEMI RWD models in a single SKU. It delivers a conservative, refined drop that closes the wheel gap without creating clearance issues or requiring camber correction on most trims. The progressive spring rate keeps highway cruising comfortable while sharpening body control in corners — exactly what a lowered 300 should feel like.
Drop by Trim — Eibach 28105.140
| Sub-Model | Front Drop | Rear Drop |
|---|---|---|
| 300 / 300S (3.6L V6 RWD) | -1.2" | -1.4" |
| 300C / 300S (5.7L HEMI RWD) | -1.3" | -1.5" |
Pros
- Trim-specific spring rates for precise, even drop
- Near-stock ride comfort (progressive rate)
- Million-mile limited lifetime warranty
- Made in Germany
- Covers both V6 and HEMI in a single SKU
- Conservative drop — camber correction rarely needed
- Strongest community reputation on the LD platform
Cons
- RWD only — does not fit AWD models
- Conservative drop may not satisfy aggressive stance seekers
- Spring rates not publicly published
- Same price as the more aggressive Eibach Sportline
Eibach Sportline Lowering Springs
If the Pro-Kit's conservative drop isn't enough, the Eibach Sportline is the aggressive alternative from the same manufacturer. At -1.6" to -1.7" in the front and -1.7" to -1.8" in the rear, this is the most aggressive lowering spring from a top-tier brand in this guide. The Sportline uses a stiffer, race-oriented spring rate compared to the Pro-Kit, delivering flatter cornering and sharper steering response — but with a noticeably firmer ride on rough roads.
Like the Pro-Kit, the Sportline provides trim-specific drop heights — the heavier 300C with the 5.7L HEMI drops slightly more than the V6 models. At the same $395 price point, the choice between Pro-Kit and Sportline comes down to priorities: comfort and subtlety (Pro-Kit) vs. maximum drop and cornering performance (Sportline). Both carry Eibach's million-mile limited lifetime warranty.
Drop by Trim — Eibach 4.10528
| Sub-Model | Front Drop | Rear Drop |
|---|---|---|
| 300 / 300S (3.6L V6 RWD) | -1.6" | -1.7" |
| 300C (5.7L HEMI RWD) | -1.7" | -1.8" |
Pros
- Most aggressive drop from a premium brand
- Race-oriented spring rate for sharper handling
- Trim-specific drop heights
- Million-mile limited lifetime warranty
- Same price as the Pro-Kit ($395)
- Made in Germany
Cons
- RWD only — does not fit AWD models
- At -1.6" to -1.8" drop, camber correction will likely be needed
- Noticeably firmer ride than the Pro-Kit or stock
- May require upgraded shocks for optimal ride at this drop height
- Spring rates not publicly published
H&R Sport Lowering Springs
H&R is the standout value pick for the Chrysler 300 and the only brand in this guide with explicit AWD fitment. Starting at $316, you get German-made, TUV-certified springs with a lifetime limited warranty at a lower price point than either Eibach option. The progressive spring rate delivers 1.6" of front drop and 1.4" in the rear — more aggressive than the Eibach Pro-Kit but not as extreme as the Sportline. For most 300 owners, this is the sweet spot between cost and performance.
H&R offers three distinct kits for the 300: the 50888-2 for 5.7L HEMI RWD, the 50881-6 for V6 RWD and AWD, and the 50881-4 for 5.7L HEMI AWD. This is critical for 300 owners because AWD is extremely common on this platform — and H&R is the only manufacturer offering validated lowering springs for AWD configurations. Note that the "S" models may drop slightly more in the front due to unique suspension geometry.
Which Kit Do You Need?
| Part # | Engine | Drivetrain | Front Drop | Rear Drop | Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 50888-2 | 5.7L HEMI | RWD | -1.6" | -1.4" |
|
| 50881-6 | 3.6L V6 | RWD & AWD | -1.6" | -1.4" |
|
| 50881-4 | 5.7L HEMI | AWD Only | -1.6" | -1.4" |
|
Pros
- Only brand with validated AWD fitment (V6 and HEMI)
- Cheapest German-made option (from $316)
- Three kits covering every 300 configuration
- Lifetime limited warranty
- TUV-certified, ISO 9001 manufacturing
- Progressive rate balances comfort and performance
Cons
- At -1.6" front drop, camber correction may be needed
- Must choose the correct SKU for your exact engine and drivetrain
- Ride is noticeably firmer than stock
- Spring rates not publicly published
D2 Racing Pro Series Lowering Springs
At $200, the D2 Racing Pro Series is the cheapest lowering spring available for the Chrysler 300 — and also the most aggressive, with a full 1.8" front drop and 2.0" rear drop. If maximum stance on a budget is your goal, this is the kit. But there's a significant catch: at nearly -2.0" all around, you'll almost certainly need aftermarket adjustable upper control arms for camber correction ($300–$600), will likely scrape on driveways and speed bumps, and the true "all-in" cost approaches $500–$800.
D2 Racing springs are manufactured from 55 chrome silicon steel in ISO 9001 and TUV-approved facilities, so the build quality is acceptable for the price. However, they're excluded from fitting AWD models. Forum reports from long-term owners on the LD platform note that D2 springs can sag over time (5–7 years), gradually settling lower than the advertised drop. The 1-year warranty is the shortest of any product in this guide.
Pros
- Lowest price at $200
- Most aggressive drop (-1.8" F / -2.0" R)
- Eliminates nearly all wheel gap for maximum stance
- Fits both V6 and HEMI RWD models
Cons
- Excludes AWD models
- Camber correction almost certainly required (budget extra $300–$600)
- Reports of sagging after 5–7 years
- Only 1-year warranty
- Will scrape on driveways, speed bumps, steep inclines
- Significantly stiffer ride quality
Hurst Stage 1 Performance Spring Kit
The Hurst Stage 1 is the handling-focused choice for the Chrysler 300. Unlike every other spring on this list, Hurst uses a linear spring rate rather than progressive. Linear springs provide a consistent, predictable response throughout the entire suspension travel — better for spirited driving and precise cornering, but firmer for daily commuting. This is the spring for the 300 owner who treats their sedan like a sport sedan, not a cruiser.
Backed by Holley Performance Products, Hurst is a legacy American performance brand with deep muscle car roots. The springs feature Hurst's signature hammered gold and black powder coat for corrosion resistance and distinctive appearance. The drop is moderate at 1.0" to 1.25" depending on trim weight, which means you likely won't need camber correction. The Hurst kit also has the widest trim coverage in this guide, with explicit fitment for the 300 V6, 300C 5.7L HEMI, and even the 300 SRT8 6.4L (2012–2014).
Drop by Trim — Hurst 6130012
| Sub-Model | Front Drop | Rear Drop |
|---|---|---|
| 300 (3.6L V6) | -1.0" to -1.25" | -1.0" to -1.25" |
| 300C (5.7L HEMI) | -1.0" to -1.25" | -1.0" to -1.25" |
Pros
- Linear rate for predictable, performance handling
- Widest trim coverage (V6, HEMI, and SRT8)
- Moderate drop — camber correction rarely needed
- Hammered gold powder coat finish
- Lifetime limited warranty (Holley-backed)
- Covers both V6 and HEMI in a single SKU
Cons
- Most expensive non-adjustable spring at $615
- Linear rate = noticeably firmer daily ride than progressive springs
- At this price, entry-level coilovers become a consideration
- RWD only — does not fit AWD models
- Spring rates not published for the 300-specific kit
Function & Form Adjustable Spring Sleeve Kit
The Function & Form is a unique product in this lineup — it's not a traditional lowering spring, and it's not a full coilover. It's an adjustable sleeve system that wraps around your factory shocks, replacing the spring with a height-adjustable unit. You keep your OEM dampers and all drive modes still work, but you gain the ability to dial in your exact ride height from -1.0" to -2.0". Think of it as a middle ground between springs and coilovers at roughly half the coilover price.
This kit is designed specifically for RWD models only. The 10–15% increase in spring stiffness over stock keeps the ride sportier without becoming punishing on the highway — a good match for the 300's luxury-sedan character. The trade-off for adjustability at this price point is a shorter 1-year warranty and less brand recognition on the Mopar platform compared to Eibach or H&R. Function & Form has deeper roots in the Honda/import community, so LD-platform-specific reviews are limited.
Pros
- Adjustable height (-1.0" to -2.0")
- Preserves factory damper functionality
- Cheaper than coilovers or ST Suspensions
- Mild 10–15% spring rate increase keeps ride comfortable
- Specifically designed for the Chrysler 300 / Charger platform
Cons
- RWD only — does not fit AWD models
- Only 1-year warranty
- No damping adjustment (relies entirely on OEM shocks)
- Very limited Chrysler 300 community reviews
- Threaded sleeves require periodic maintenance to prevent seizing
- Spring rates not published
ST Suspensions Adjustable Lowering Springs
ST Suspensions is a sub-brand of KW Automotive — the premier German suspension manufacturer. These adjustable springs use KW's engineering, R&D, and vehicle-specific spring rate tuning, but at a lower price point than KW's own H.A.S. kits. The springs are made from chrome-silicon steel, TUV-certified for road safety, and include everything needed for installation: threaded height adjusters, bump stops, and dust protection.
The 2015+ Chrysler 300 uses standard (non-EDC) dampers, so the 27327019 is the correct part number for most owners. The 27327018 (with EDC compatibility) exists for models with aftermarket electronic damping or earlier LD-platform vehicles. The conservative -0.8" max drop is deliberate — KW engineered these to stay within the safe operating envelope of the factory dampers. Ride quality reports from LD-platform forums are excellent, with owners describing the ride as "similar to stock but corners much better."
Which Variant Do You Need?
| Part Number | For Vehicles | Max Front Drop | Max Rear Drop |
|---|---|---|---|
| 27327018 | WITH Electronic Damper Control | -0.8" | -0.8" |
| 27327019 | WITHOUT Electronic Damper Control (standard) | -0.8" | -0.8" |
Pros
- KW German engineering and R&D
- TUV-certified for road safety
- Vehicle-specific spring rates matched to OEM dampers
- Adjustable height within a safe, tested range
- Complete kit (springs, adjusters, bump stops, dust boots)
- 5-year warranty
- Chrome-silicon steel construction
- Excellent ride quality feedback from LD-platform owners
Cons
- Most expensive option at $939
- Very conservative drop (max -0.8")
- At this price, full coilovers with damping adjustment become viable
- RWD only — does not fit AWD models
- Height changes require jacking the car and realignment

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need new shocks when installing lowering springs?
Not necessarily. All kits on this page are designed to work with your factory shocks. However, if your shocks have 60,000+ miles, they're likely worn. Installing fresh springs on tired dampers creates a bouncy, poorly controlled ride. Upgrading to Bilstein B6 performance shocks ($100–$150 each) is recommended if your dampers are worn.
Will lowering springs void my factory warranty?
Under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, a dealer cannot void your entire warranty just because you installed aftermarket parts. However, if a warranty claim is directly related to the modification (e.g., premature strut wear caused by lowering), the dealer can deny that specific claim. Lowering springs typically don't trigger warranty issues unless they cause a related failure.
Do lowering springs affect ride quality?
Yes, but the degree varies dramatically by product. Conservative drops (0.8–1.25") with progressive-rate springs (like Eibach Pro-Kit) maintain near-stock ride comfort. Aggressive drops (1.6–2.0") with stiffer spring rates will be noticeably firmer, especially over bumps and rough roads. Linear-rate springs (Hurst) feel firmer across the board but provide more predictable handling.
What's the difference between progressive and linear spring rates?
Progressive springs have a variable rate — soft initially for comfort over small bumps, then stiffening progressively as the spring compresses further. This gives a comfortable daily ride with good control under hard cornering. Most springs on this page are progressive. Linear springs (like Hurst) have a constant rate throughout the entire range of travel. They feel firmer overall but deliver more consistent, predictable handling. Linear is preferred for track-oriented setups.
Should I get lowering springs or coilovers?
Lowering springs are best if you want a set drop at the lowest cost ($200–$600 for springs vs. $1,200+ for quality coilovers). If you want adjustable ride height AND adjustable damping, coilovers are the better choice. The labor cost is roughly the same for both. Check our Suspension Buyers Guide for a full coilover comparison.
I have an AWD Chrysler 300. What are my options?
Your only validated lowering spring option is H&R Sport Springs. They offer the 50881-6 for V6 AWD ($328) and the 50881-4 for 5.7L HEMI AWD ($329). Every other brand on this page is RWD-only. Do not install RWD springs on an AWD vehicle — the AWD front subframe and differential change the geometry and spring requirements. If H&R's drop is too conservative for your taste, a full coilover system is your next option.
