I don't think he is a member of this forum, but I can tell you that if it works well for him, I'll be following suit.

I contacted my guy at Eibach. He said we are outta luck. There is so little room to drop the SRT8 in the first place, plus we are a small market.

So then I went to my guy at Hothkis. He said that he might be able to do something for us when their R&D department slows down this winter. I will stay on his case. I am requesting a 1-2" Lowering/leveling kit with beefy hollow adjustable sways and endlinks. We will see.

Oh, and just to let you know. I am working on Goodrige Stainless to get us a Stainless braided brake line kit.

The problem with our rides is that there is already hardly any clearance between the end of the shock and the bump stop. Lowering it about a 1/2 an inch would be about all you can get with the stock bump stops and the stock shocks. So a lowering kit will definitely need to have shorter shocks/struts in order to go a worthwhile amount

The suspesion guru from the custom shop I use (http://www.carnutzcustoms.com) just swung by my house to pick my ride up for the week (upholstery, not suspension yet ;) ) and we were talking about the SRT he is bagging. Well it turns out he started it yesterday. He says with the solid rear axle, the rear is just awesome. It can dump all the way down to within a quarter inch of the rear fender (obviously it won't be driven at that height). The fronts we a bit more tricky, but he has it down to a 5 inch drop, leaving full turning capabilities, and leaving the chin just 2 inches off the ground! I can't wait to see it. He is really happy with it, and is telling me I've got to do it. Well.... he has my ride for the next week, so we'll see what happens ;)
