Ok, what about rear shock blow out all the experts say is gonna happen? What's the ride like? Where are you and what shop did the swap?

Sorry for all the questions. This is a dream I've had for a LONG time. An Easy, Inexpensive way to lower my SRT. You are talkin about a GenIII right?

You can E-mail me the pics!

I did the same as you last year on my 04. I went less than 100 miles before the seals blew on the rear shocks. The O.E.M coilovers only have about 3 inches of stroke before they bottom out and blow the seals. If you lowered the car 1.5 inches, you now have half your original stroke.
The spring rate you choose will make a big difference in how long it will be before you blow the seals. If you went with 500lb front springs and 750lb rear springs, they might last for a while. Any thing less and you will be seeing lots of fluid on your wheels and in your fender wells the first time you go over a rough set of railroad tracks or hit a pothole.
