Ride & Handling

The Chrysler 300C SRT8 is conditioned for outstanding ride and handling across the dynamic range that customers are likely to experience.

Chassis setup for the Chrysler 300C SRT8 is aimed at all-round performance with a number of enhancements, including tuned Bilstein dampers, specially tailored spring rates and suspension bushings and larger-diameter anti-sway bars. New front and rear suspension knuckles contribute to a ride height lowered 13 mm (one-half inch) from the Chrysler 300C. And, the Electronic Stability Programme (ESP) has been specially tuned for the SRT8’s performance handling characteristics.

The Chrysler 300C SRT8 connects with the road via a new wheel and tyre assembly consisting of 20-inch forged aluminium wheels shod with high-performance Goodyear F1 three-season tyres (four-season tyres are an available option) with asymmetrical tread. Tyre dimensions are a beefy 245/45/20 in the front, and 255/45/20 in the rear.

Braking performance goes hand-in-hand with the new Chrysler 300C SRT8’s outstanding accelerating and speed - and the braking system was specially designed to slow and stop the car safely and predictably. At the same time, this system was designed to provide benchmark braking performance, setting a new standard for sedans in its class.

All four wheels feature stout performance calipers developed by Brembo - well known in racing and high-performance circles - equipped with four pistons for even comparing performance. Up front, the Chrysler 300C SRT8 has 360 x 32 mm vented rotors, with 350 x 28 mm vented rotors in the rear.
