Default lower rear...

Is it just me or the srt-6 has a very lifted look on the rear?... we have 19" wheels on the back and the distance between the fender and the ruber is higher on top of the wheel than it is on the sides of it. is there a way to lower the rear just 1 inch without having to worry about toe, camber and new shocks? And also would it look stupid leaving the front the same?

Some have cut the rear springs just a small amount, about a half a ring. I plan to soon. Easy to remove hte rear springs also.

I haven't had a chance to do the fronts, I think they are the most difficult and might require a special spring tool from MB

I lowered my ride by trimming all 4 springs without the need of a spring compressor. Pretty easy job - search for my thread.

If you're going to lower the height it would be worth getting a set of progressive rate springs. Cutting stock springs will work, but the ride compromise can be pretty bad. Eibach springs would give you the drop you're looking for (??? if available for the Crossfire). Not only are they progressive rate but much better made than most stock. There's a lot more meat to them. Reducing the spring height will wear the stock dampers as they'll be more compressed due to the reduced suspension travel.
