SRT8 + H&R SRT8 Springs?

Anyone tried a performance spring kit from H&R for the SRT8?

How low does the car get?

Still fit 22x9.5 rims?

Let me see if I can help. When I got my car the h&r springs for the srt8 were not available. I ofcourse had to have it lowered right away, so I got a set of the h&r springs for a 300c/magnum. My good friend assured me that they would be fine, so he put them on for me. when he put them on, the front was perfect. Dropped it about 2". The back, however, raised the car a little. He had to cut a coil out of the springs in the back, which lowered it perfectly. Everything has been great so far. I have about 1000 miles on the springs and they have settled a little bit more. Perfect height. I have to be careful when going up or down driveways but that is about it. The Wheels I have are 22x9 all the way around. The wheel did not come staggered which was what I wanted so I put the 295/30 on the back anyway just to give it that appearance. Works for me. The ride is great on the car, but I will probably get the correct springs when they come out, just to be right. Let me know if I didn't cover anything.

LB44, you said you "had to lower it".

Was this for appearance purposes?

Since the major lowering, have you done any performance driving with your SRT8? If so, how is the high speed tracking; handling; transition behavior and braking stability since the mod?
NR,
I am more of an appearance guy, so I did it for that reason. I'm not really a performance driver other than an occaisonal WOT when somone gets cute. I had a BMW E46 M3 conv. prior to this car and was ready for a change. My friend told me about this car so I went and looked at it. Bought it that night. Like I said before I have to be careful on driveways so I don't rip my front fenders off, but all the fenders have been rolled so in all honesty I am a little more careful than I need to be. Brakes still work great, but probably changing those out for bigger brembos and cross-drilled rotors. They look better, you know!
Hey SRT400, who the f#*k is LB22? :laughing:
