Hey Chris, although not an answer to your question, there is some interesting conversation going on over here... and I posted up some specs for the SRT8 parts from Hotchkis.

The Hotchkis Springs, though they've been said to have been released, actually have not according to what I've been told by Hotchkis. We're still waiting for our intial order to arrive and it will probably be another few weeks before they do.

Hi Josh, not sure if you were referring to my linked post, but I thought I'd clarify that the info I posted came directly from Hotchkis R&D Manager, Wes in an 11/8 reply to my PM asking if R&D had been done on the SRT8.

For the SRT8, I would definitely go w/Coilovers.

I'm still mulling the idea b/c I think the SRT8 still rides too high. Man, I see Lexuses, Acuras, Audis, Mercedes, BMWs from the factory and they don't have hardly ANY wheel gap!

Why do US manufacturers insist on 4x4 wheel gaps? Look at the new Corvette or Viper! You can stick four fingers in there!

Thanks HEMEEE, Shortly after I posted that the SRT-8 parts were a few weeks out, two days later we have a Hotchkis delivery of SRT-8 springs.
