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.
Yup, Chumly emailed them to help me out and we finally found the part #. I should have them next week and on next weekend.
Here's the direct part#'s from Bilstein just released for SEMA: Front Left Fitment Housing: Shock Housing Price: $132.00 (each) Manufacturer Part #: F4-BE5-E476-H0 Front Right Fitment Housing: Shock Housing Price: $132.00 (each) Manufacturer Part #: F4-BE5-E477-H0 Rear Fitment Housing: Shock Housing Price: $132.00 (each) Manufacturer Part #: F4-BE5-E478-H0 You can buy them from Tirerack.com - ignore the fact about the them not fitting the load leveling suspension, they work.
Hey 4dr, Have you installed the bilsteins yet, just curious how there working out for you. I have all four sitting in the garage, just received from Tire Rack 125.00 a piece. Curtis
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?
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!!!
Ok thanks, im trying to order a set of Pedders shocks now. They have two different sets and im trying to find out whats the difference before i make my purchase.
___________________________ 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.
