Lowering an SRT8 with Eibach springs

Well I did it yesterday, installed Eibach springs and I was going to reuse the Nivomats and lower the top mounts however one of the shocks broke when we were reattaching the top nut.
I had to use the only shocks I could find on short notice - Monroe 5758's in the rear and reused the stock front Bilsteins.
I can say after driving around that I do not suggest this spring/shock combo as it is very bumpy, not controlled and just a bad option.

Here's some pics anyhow

Sorry to hear about your experience! My Sportline/Stock Bilstein's setup rides awesome! I came from an air ride setup with adjustable Koni's, and this ride quality is right up there with my old setup. I am utilizing the factory front struts, but replaced the Nivomats with a stock non self-leveling OEM set. I got it all aligned right to spec, and was on my way.

Looks good though!
