You need to change the front coil and rear leaf springs. Don't buy
them from a dealer! A bunch of R/T owners have stock springs they're
willing to sell because they've installed the Hotchkis suspension.
I'd sell you mine cheap, but I have a CC and the springs are different
than a RC.

Sway bars are different also. Like the springs, you should be able to
find an R/T owner who has installed Hotchkis who will sell you their
stock sway bars.
