2020 SXT AWD lowering

I put new wheels and lower profile tires on my 2020 SXT AWD. Tha created a by of space in the top of wheel wells. I am just looking to lower it a bit and not looking for track capable suspension.
It seems hard to find compatible parts.. lowering springs only, there are after market coil overs but that seems like overkill +$$

I am hoping someone addressed this and can give me some insight.

thanks

You are going against the whole purpose of these AWD cars. Dodge added an inch of clearance for a reason. I hate lowered cars, let's make our car bottom out running over a dime.

Not really, I upgraded the wheels and tires to 245/45zr20’s which added more gap tween the tire and wheel well. I just want to reduce the gap so it looks more natural. Not looking for track handling although driving in Texas can be tricky, lol
I think I’m going with Eibach proline lowering springs only.

I lowered my 2018 scat pack with Silvers coilovers and Swift springs. I love it now but think twice! It quickly turned into a multi-1000 dollar project because lowering the car is just the beginning. You’re looking at adjustable camber and toe arms, at least in the rear. And getting a toe arm that would hold alignment against the torque was an odyssey eventually I got a set from Billet that work great but were very spendy. Now it corners great, looks even better, and the springs are tight (wife complains it hurts her boobs which is how I know it’s dialed in right lol)

Good point on ride. I find the AWD Challenger a tiny bit on the rough side. Going to higher rate, shorter spring will affect ride quality while improving body roll. Remember, it won't be cheap and could affect resale value. Your call.

I’ve researched the concerns with lowering an AWD and most issues come into play once you lower more than 1-1/2”. I also found that the coil overs come with specific fitment for AWD such as Godspeed project, or SR Performance sets. Has anyone installed these and have feedback?
