    Found the part # finally and thought I'd share for future reference.
    These will allow you to lower your SRT-8 and use Eibach Pro-Kit springs (or others) and stay with stock Bilstein's up front and have a pair of rear shocks to match. These are the replacement shocks from the new SRT-8's which no longer have Nivomats.

    Part # is 4782712AE

    I just bought mine for $90 each from Jeff Mopar Super Center.

    "These are the replacement shocks from the new SRT-8's which no longer have Nivomats".

    When you say replacement shocks are these 2008 factory shocks??

    4DR, glad you were able to find them, did you get ahold of Chumly to help? I knew they were less than the $195 you said and I knew MSC had them. Hope this helps your ride, be sure to post up after you do the install.

    What springs do they make that would lower my srt8 like 1.5 in the front and around the same in the back? Anybody know how the hotchkis springs are?

    Eibach Pro Kit is the most popular one for that kinda drop.

    You still have the Monroe shocks on the rear i assume? Did the ride soften up or get any better.

    I do and they are horrible and bottom out all the time. Unfortunately money is tight and spending money on shocks right now isn't an option. :(

    When you say it bottoms out, are you hitting the fenders or something else? I have the Sportlines and im ready to go, but no one has shocks and i cant get a response from the ones that claim they do. The only ones that are available are the Monroes that you have on the rear, but you said there horrible right? Exactly how? I spoke to Jeff at MSS and he said he'd call me, but didnt yet, i left a message with Pedders, no reponse!!!!! Im getting pretty pissed, i mean dam its just a set of shocks!!!

    The monroe shocks have bumpstops built into them, my tires aren't hitting my fender the shocks are hitting the bump stops internally which is like hitting a block of wood. IT SUCKS!!!

    ___________________________
    I know I am late to this thread but just working through mods on my 2007 Charger SRT 8... I checked Tirerack link and pulled up the Bilsteins but the Manufacture Part# is different than what is identified above. Has this changed over time and is this Manufacturer Part#: 24-144780 the one i need to then use the Eibach springs? Also are the front shocks Nivomats as well? Can I get away with just doing the rear lowering and not the front?

    Thanks.
