Re: Some Honest Info From Some SRT-4 Owners
Go with the Eibachs, those coilovers are cheap crap, they should work for a little bit, but my money is on them not lasting long.
I have the Eibachs and the ride is just as good as stock or better and it lowered it almost 2" all the way around. Now that they have settled it is hard to get a jack under the car without driving up on boards and it is hard as crap to get it on a drive on lift for oil changes and alignments.
As for state inspection you should have no problem because the springs look stock except for ride height and no body really knows what the hell this car is supposed to have on it. Plus I think the only way they can fail you is if the springs are not of a oem quality which Eibachs are.
Here is a picture of mine after being lowered but before they settled. Now that they have settled the tires are right at the fender if not slightly tucked up front and right at the fender in the back.

Even when I do the whole riding sideways to get over stuff thing.

no..its pretty fuckin low. i gotta bust out the boards to get it on my drive on lift....and its pretty low.
the front bumper is the main thing that makes it low, it scrubs like a bitch if you dont watch it.
and if you want to lower one....gimme a holla. if i recall, i got richard his springs for quite a bit less then anywhere we looked.
as for the cheap coilovers...they fail. i have explained it a few times, i will go deeper into it if you want, but my fingers hurt and the woman needs me in bed, so i am out.
