Since the SRT-6 has much stiffer springs, I would think the SRT shocks would be stiffer to control the stiffer spring. I personally would go with KYB. The KYB's seemed a little stiff at low speeds for the first couple of days but now seem to be settling down. I am really liking the KYB's now, especially when I see pot holes in front of me. Now I aim for them and am amazed that I barely feel them! The KYB's are mono tube design that is supposed to be more consistant on bumpy roads since they don't foam the oil like twin tube shocks do. I have been told that our Sachs shocks are twin tube.
