The latter seems like the best choice and pretty sweet too though you'll probably need to spec them out.
I didn't change the shocks, I thought they were probably a "top of the line" shock since it was a high $ sports car. I had an 04 coupe when I bought the SRT 6, I couldn't believe how much more of a rough ride the SRT 6 was than the 04 coupe. The Eibach's made it a lot better on the rough roads here in Indiana, I made a spacer out of some 1/4" rubber I had, compressed the spring and inserted it above the spring cup. But I think the weight of the car has compressed it down to about an 1/8". I know they make 3 or 4 different spring cups of different thickness, I had called a big Chrysler parts place back when I lowered my car and they had told me witch one's mine were by giving them my VIN #. At the time I still had the OEM wheels on it & was more concerned with getting the back to drop more because it only dropped about 1/2" to 3/4". Now that I have bigger wheels & tire's the back is okay, it's the front I need to raise just a little. I guess I need to get hold of them again and find out what mine are in the front to see if I can get a taller pair. here's a picture to show you how close the tire's are to the fender on the front, I do get a little rub when I hit a dip in the road. What is the name of the site with the spacers you posted pic's of?
Thanks, Steve
