Hey all,
I just bought some Eibach/Konis, and was wondering what the best combo of spring pads are for the setup. Let me know what worked out best for you; and yes I want photos...

 

HERE 5dot front 1dot back.

NA same size comfirm here

 

With the dot 5 in the front and dot 1 in the rear, Koni's and Eibach's the car will be approximately 1/2 inch lower in the front and 1 1/2 inches in the rear. If you lower more in the front you could have some rubbing. I have this setup but with tires that are 4mm taller and I have some minor rubbing. With stock tire size in the front it should be perfect.

has anyone tried smaller spring pads with stock springs to see if it lowers the car any? maybe 1/4" lol?

 

These are the sizes available.

Front:
A 210 321 01 84 (5mm)
A 210 321 02 84 (9mm)
A 210 321 03 84 (13mm)
A 210 321 04 84 (17mm)
A 210 321 05 84 (21mm)

Rear:
A 210 325 01 84 (5mm)
A 210 325 02 84 (9mm)
A 210 325 03 84 (13mm)
A 210 325 04 84 (17mm)

Give me a few minutes and I'll let you know the stock SRT-6 sizes on my car.
But yes, you can lower the car a bit just changing out the spring pads.

Just checked. Stock on my car was 2 dot in the front and 3 dot in the rear. So you can lower the car 4 mm in the front by changing to the 1 dot and 8 mm in the rear by changing to the 1 dot.

 

Hi. I know ths is an old thread, but its perfect for what I want to ask.

I am just getting the Eibachs installed, without Koni's. I guess the "perfect setup" will still be the same with 5dot in the front 1dot for the rear?!?!

So the part numbers I need are:

Front: A 210 321 05 84 (21mm)

Rear: A 210 325 04 84 (17mm)

I guess I can get these pads at a normal Chrysler or MB Dealership? Does anyone know how much they cost?

Thanks for the help and the info so far.

 

the rears you have are wrong thats a 4 dot you would want these A 210 325 01 84 (5mm) which are 1 dot look at the 01. that corresponds with the dots on the pads

fwiw i have 4 dots on the front and 2 dots on the rear. oem on both 13dog's srt6 and my 32 were 2 dots front and rear.

mrphotoman you are looking at 4mm per dot drop so fronts and rear only drop 4 mm from oem
you also cant use the front pads on the rear and viceversa

 

Thanks for the info.

Yeah, I have an NA crossfire, I just that the post was in the SRT 6 section.

Does that make a difference if its an SRT or the NA? Just wondering becuase isent the SRT a bit heavier?

 

we actually did the springs on jhm2k's limited. 2 dots on his as well but different springs than the srt-6. we installed cut srt-6 springs on his limited and completely changed the way the car handles.

 

The SRT springs are much stiffer than the N/A springs but I believe the ride heights are the same. The Eibachs are somewhere in the middle but the ride height is quite a bit lower. The 5 dot on the front and 1 dot on the rear are to prevent rubbing. If you use the stock spring pads the front tires will rub the inside of the fender well. You can use a taller spring pad on the rear, the problem is the front. Most people that lower the car want it as low as possible without rubbing, therefore the 5 dot on the front and 1 dot on the rear.

Interestingly, the Eibach's are longer than the stock springs when you put them side by side.

I have the 3 dot in the front and 1 dot in the rear on the Aero......but I am using 10mm spacers in front to clear the C32 breaks...otherwise I would be eating my tires with the control arm bolt... (12mm spacers in back FYI)

 

Sometimes I think the 05's and 06's are not the same. I have 10 mm spacers on the front with dot 5 pads with stock size tires, almost no rubbing. With 235's I had too much rubbing. On the rear I can't fit even a 5 mm spacer without hitting the fender lip. I had minor rubbing with a dot 1 and 265/35/19's and a dot 1 pad.

Thanks for all the input. I will run to the dealership tomorrow and get the 5 and 1 pads, hopefully Chrysler will have it in stock otherwise I'll run to MB.

Hope it all works out with lowering

 

chances are neither dealer will have the pads in stock . order online or at the dealer and wait!
