Finally Lowered my Car
Well I finally had my Eibach Pro Kit installed yesterday. Here's are some before and after pics. Next, spacers...

I notice no difference in the ride, but handles better cornering. I had it done by a MB mechanic for $150, side job.

Oh yeah! That's the ticket FP. Looks real good! I used 12mm spacers on the rear stock wheels and they were perfect!

I've just ordered 12mm spacers for the rear, and 10mm for the front. I hope I get them by Friday so I can install them Saturday.

Re: Finally Lowered my Car
That baby looks a lot better lowered FP and spacers will make it even better.
eatmySRTdust, the SRT 6 lowers well in the front, but for some reason the rear does not want to drop like a regular xfire. I don't know for sure why, but I think it's the stiffer sway bar or the bump stops in the top of the shocks. I just went with a taller tire after my rear didn't lower as much as the front to get the distance between the tire's & the bottom of the fenders about the same.

looks much better pushing the rim & tire closer to the wheel well edge imo ... hope this helps!
