Default Any Aftermarket Springs that Wont Kill Stock Shocks...

Just wondering if these exist, I know guys who have killed a stock shock with Progress springs. Any spring out there that can work with the stock shock ?, I dont care too much about big drops, just something that a bit stiffer and lowers center of gravity a bit. Archer has recommended the Eibach Pro-kits, I've had good experience with them on other cars, how about the SRT-4, any info would be cool thanks.

Joey

I have the Tein H-Tech springs but I don't have them installed yet
They are especially made for the SRT-4 and lower 1.2(30mm)front and 1.5(37mm) rear and have nearly identical spring rates 173 lbs up front and 168 lbs in the rear. The spring rates are just a few lbs stiffer than stock springs, but I can't remeber the exact stock spring rates right off hand. I'm pretty sure the H-techs offer the least amount of drop of any other spring so they shouldn't be as harsh on the stock struts, I just got tired of waitng for the Mopar springs.

thanks for the info, not a bad sounding spring, I was also told that Tein are the only springs made for the SRT-4. I like the mild drop but I wish the spring rates could have been a bit stiffer, the fronts are not really stiffere than stock I think the stock fronts are around 180 lbs. Looks like the rears are stiffer than stock, I think the stock rears are around 130 lbs if I remember correctly. The ther Teins have nice spring rates but the drop is much lower. hmmmmm, hard decision.
