New Springs on their way

don't really understand that. The car rides pretty close to the regular '04 coupe that I had, in short it's still a little stiff, but rides a hell of a lot better.

And one more quick question. Is it possible to get Eibachs sized so they don't change the geometry of the car? I'd like to avoid having the front tires rub.

Definitely not night and day, but smoother. Since I drove the same course first on my SRT6, I definitely noticed the difference (that the SRT6 brings to the table) - tighter, more responsive, etc.

The thing I would be most concerned about is the back not dropping enough, mine didn't drop like the front did, if I would have known the rear was going to do that I would have cut just a wee bit off each end of the rear spring. The part # you are looking for I believe is 2552.140, same as the regular Crossfire and the 170 MB chassis. I got my spring kit through ajusa.com for $250 delivered. I also done the front and rear camber kits, but I don't think anybody else did so.
