rtdkota: Welcome to the board! I sent you a PM with the info slawkins31: The system is advertised for the 300/300C, PM hotchkis or check out their website ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In an earlier post I had expressed regrets that I had not taken photos of the sway bars to show the comps side-by-side.
Since then, FastEd installed the system on his car and was kind enough to send me photos... thanks FastEd!!
For those that have been asking about the SRT8, here is the latest:
Sway Bars-
Hotchkis Performance states the OEM SRT8 sway bars are the same size as the stock 300C (Front Sway: Ø 1.056 and Rear Sway: Ø .559)
The sway bars sold for the 300C have now been tested on, and are being sold for the SRT8:
HP Front Sway: Ø 1.375"
HP Rear Sway: Ø .750"
Springs-
Hotchkis has also just developed springs for the SRT8 (Part #19105) with the following spring/drop rates:
what brand wheels are those 22"s the look awsome!!!!!!!!!!!!

As for lowering the rear more, I decided it was best to leave well enough alone in anticipation of possible settling, etc. and Hotchkis agreed; the springs are already on the market and I'm very happy with the look and the ride.
I don't know what the degree of rake is with the Eibachs but fatchance has them and if you look at the pics of my car nose to nose with his, the rake on mine seems less pronounced, perhaps because the front of mine is not as low...
Yes Shawn, I recounted a trip through the mountains in my original post... that's when it became most noticeably apparent. The sway bars made a huge difference and with the lowered center of gravity taking those hairpin turns was a lot of fun!
I'm thinking w/a 7/8"-1" drop in the rear, that the net affect on an SRT8 (already dropped .5" from a stock 300c) would be another 3/8-1/2" drop on an SRT8.
I'm trying to get rid of some of that huge rear wheel gap/rake that the SRT8 still has. I think just putting rear Hotchkis springs may do that.
Whatcha think? I don't have the coin right now for K2 V2s (maybe next year).

The Hotchkis springs for the 300 C are 1" drop front and 3/4" drop rear...
For the SRT the drop is 1/8" front and 5/8" rear.
I believe the springs are only sold as a full set of 4, you might want to PM hotchkis or call them for a more definitive answer.
MK, sorry I missed your post, I been sick and not very active lately. My recommendation is to contact Wes at Hotchkis or PM him here. Last I heard they were looking to do some R&D on an AWD, but I have no further info.
