    I have a pretty simple future goal...lowering my SRT8, so that when I upgrade the shoes, I lose the wheel gap. It's a plus that it will also improve the handling, but I don't drive the living crap out of my ride, so that's of less concern...mine is a visual need.

    That said, because of the load-leveling shocks, lowering springs wont work. Our only options is coilovers. Has anyone gone with ST coilovers?

    Good? Bad? Anyone know? Any reason why they wouldn't work on an SRT? I spoke with James at ProMotion, and he didn't see that there would be a issue, but has never put them on anything other than a regular Hemi. I'm too ignorant in this area to know whether that would make a difference or not.

    Help? Just trying to save myself a few bucks if I can. What I WON'T do, however, is put cheap crap on my car. KW's and Eibachs seem like overkill for what I need, though, and considering the $300-600 difference...

    TIA!!!

    It's basically a KW V1 kit. The rear is NOT coilovers though. It's just a different shock, and a spring with an adjustable perch in the stock location. If all you want is the cheapest way to lower your car, that may not be a bad option.

    rumor has it those are the same as the Mopar kit. I think Cheatek has those? (what happened to Cheatek anyway).
