How did your installation go?
I think the SRT6 sets a wee bit higher than a regular coupe, so if the lower control arms are the same, with a stiffer or longer spring that would give it a more positive camber, but thats just my opinion. On the install the rear went good, I just took the lower control arms completely off, installed the new adjustable camber bushings, put in the new springs and put the control arms back on using a floor jack. The OEM bushings were a PITA to get out though, you can read about that on one of the other Eibach threads. The front wasn't too bad, I took the top control arms loose from under the hood, disconnected the sway bar, took out the bottom shock bolt and used a strut spring compressor to compress the spring enough to get it out. I had to turn the steering wheel all the way to one side to get enough slack in the brake line to push the lower control arm down enough to get the spring out. Then set the OEM spring beside the Eibach one and used the spring compressor on it in the same place it was mounted on the OEM one and put it right in. I didn't even have to take the caliper or anything else off. But the nut on the upper control arm on the right side is a real PITA to get to.
