Dont waste your money on anything other then the Mopar units. I have the stage 1 springs in stock and I want to get rid of them. $200 and you come pick them up. We can install them for $250 + parts if needed. So for $450 you can get your suspension all done by us.

I have a set of Hotchkis springs that have been sitting in my closet for 6 months now. Let me know if your interested, drop it a little more than mopar's but wont kill your struts like Tien's will.

Sorry about that I thought you were looking for springs. For the SRT I have installed over 6 different brands and the only one I would run is the Mopars. The Tien's were the worse, the best next to the Mopars were the blue ones??? They looked exactly like the Mopars so it could have been the same company. Sorry I can not remember who they were.

Sportlines ride like ass.

SUPER harsh!

I'd just save up for some
BC Coilovers......Correct me
if I'm wrong, but I believe
PTP sells those as well.....

Hey, speaking of that.....Is
it cheaper if I drive up there
and pick up stuff?

I dont like the Mopars, they tick and makes noises that bug me. Oh well....

It could be the fact Coy took the sand I had in the struts out... He emptied the playground out in frogs garage, and I think it upset the cert.

I have been on Eibach pro for about 2 years now.. drop is pretty good and ride is not really that much worse then stock. I hardly ever scrap even up steep driveways, so they are very driveable.

Front w/1.6 in drop and Rear w/1.8 in Drop so it even look pretty level. Price is about 180-217 buck shipped depending on were you buy em. I got mine for 150 + shipping on evilbay

I have the Sportlines on my car, I love the drop, but it rides like complete shit.. the smallest pothole feels like your driving over a curb.

just to throw in my two cents. i just installed my mopar springs yesterday w/ the PT/ACR sways and I love it. Nice ride, good height, no bottoming out on every dip in the road.

I have the Hotchkis and like them a lot. My friends w/ the Eibachs all prefer the ride in my SRT4 over their own. Nice Progressive rate spring for a lower forgiving ride but still handle well.....
