Hey guys whats goin on? I just bought myself a 2007 Jeep SRT8, ive come from a background of having highly modded saturns and I had an awesome modded sky redline that I totaled. So to replace it, I picked up my new machine. So so far I had a custom cold air intake made for it, JET performance chip and I put HID's in the headlight and fogs but thats about it. I really want to lower it. I see there are two different kits, either the eibach or Bwoody. I have never heard of them so I am kinda skepitical about putting a part on my car I dont know about. I did some research on this forum and it looks like their prety legit. The eibachs only lower it about an inch where the bwoody's drop it 1.7 in rear and 1.2 in front. Are they a good kit and are they worth the extra 70 dollars?

Any info would be great from anyone. Thanks!

Well you should have done better research before you bought some of your stuff. Get rid of that Jet Chip. It does nothing. Eibach springs are crap. Bwoody is the way to go.

chip didnt cost me anything so no harm no cash lol. I will invest then on the bwoody springs then. Any other good power adders for bolt on not as expensive?

Welcome aboard. A MoPar exhaust (Corsa) installed by a Dealer Make a Jeep GCSRT8 sound Great and having the Dealer install it protects your warranty plus warrants the exhaust. Have fun with your GCSRT8 they are fun to own and drive.

So with the Diablo Predator+CMR Tune its all 1 unit correct? What kind of power should I expect and is it really worth it?

No they are not 1 unit... The predator comes with 3 canned tunes(garbage) but, There are some really good tuners on this site.. Andy at Modern Horsepower or Dyno Steve at RDP Motorsports.. After you get the predator, Contact one of them for a CMR tune

You should expect to not be able to pull your head off the seat on a launch;) And yes worth every penny!
