Is SRT suspension different from reg GC? I noticed Eibach makes 1.5" lowering springs for the GC but not the SRT8???

It doesn't make much sense to me either... most people that would lower a GC to begin with would be a SRT owner .. Eibach missed the mark on this one.

I've never even seen a lowered Grand Cherokee in all my years owning a Jeep.

i just want the back to be even with the front. bring down the rear about 3/4" would make it look right imo

I would love to lower mine, but dont wanna cut the spring and make the ride worse. I love the way they look lowered with black wheels on the black truck.

I'm suggesting Eibach would probably sell quite a few units if they had springs and revised bump stops to lower the rear on the SRT. They're in Corona, CA, maybe a visit or letter with a list of SRT owners showing interest in rear springs would stimulate some R&D.

Anything ever come of this? ...

must have moved .. you can see the building off the 91 on the way out to Riverside. Eibach (http://eibach.com/cgi-bin/htmlos.exe/0789.9.2094506668200016831)

I'm going to give Deaver a call to see if they can reverse engineer or maybe rework a set of stock SRT coils to lower the GC about .75" to 1.0". I know they can do it with leafs... they're not cheap, however they do make some of the best progressive rate offroad springs.
