limited springs on srt-6
well I had the dealer install my limited springs on my srt,, the front droped about 1" the rear something was wrong as it went higher so i had them put the stock ones back on the rear,,, , i am not sure what happened did they put the front srt springs on the rear ,,that raised it up the reading from the ground to the lip of the finder before was front 26 1/8" ,,rear was 27 7/8",, now it is front 25 3/16",, rear 27 7/8,, when it was high it was 29.5" that is why i had them put the stock ones back,, does any one have a way to identify the springs on the limited and the srt. and does any one know the spring rate of each,,
as for ride, it is softer with just the front limited springs installed, does any one have a set of springs out of the car so we can post the hight and the diameter of the springs and what car, srt, limited, or base they are from. the ones i have are, 14" long / 610= .5 3/32 diameter,, the 15" long ones are .550 = .5 1/32diameter here are the pic of the car lowered in the front with limited springs. jim

You need to get the spring rates in the same ball park or your handling is going to really suffer!

There is no way they could put rears in the front and vice versa. Totally different diameters.It sounds as though they didn't have the springs seated all the way in the rubber pads. I have a set of stock SRT springs at home if you want me to measure them to check yours out to see if you have the right ones....

thanks to Andrew for this info. on the base to the srt-6
"They began by significantly increasing the spring rates, and SRT-6 Coupe and Roadster models are tuned differently, to their own unique
characteristics. The Coupe's spring rates are 451 lb./in. in the front and
480 lb./in. in the rear, while the Roadster's are 434 lb./in. in the front and
451 lb./in. in the rear, compared to 303 lb./in. front and 337 lb./in. rear on
the base Crossfire Coupe and Roadster models."
I need a complete set of base springs. jim

How much better is the ride do the na springs make it much softer even with the srt6 shocks? I have a set of na springs in my garage i have been waiting to put on.
