Default SRT4 struts

Does anyone know if stock SRT4 struts and springs will lower a SXT, or will it just make it handle better?

No it wont raise or lower, the ride height should be exactly the same but with the struts you'll be able to get wider tires!!! So if your going to get SRT struts you might as well by some nice Eibachs and do everything at once..

if you do both strut and springs it wont afect ride height but if you only use the springs it will lower you and if you just use the struts it will raise your car

so does that mean that if you use srt struts with eibach proline (1.5 in drop) the struts will last longer than the stock sxt struts with those springs or is it maybe completely safe with them

the only broplem is it would raise your car almost back too stock height. I know this because I put srt struts on one of my buddy's cars and he had prolines and it raised him almost back too stock. But the drop with sportlines + srtstruts look pretty nice

but then how can you put srt struts and springs on a car, which doesnt change the ride height, and then put lowering springs on it and it stays the same height?

Its a bit of an overstatement. Stock SRT springs/struts may increase your ride height like .25"-.50" but no more than that. So when you put the proline springs on it wont lower it as much, but they will still lower the car an inch- 1.25".

(oh and post #500 right here!!!)

ok perces on struts is 3/4 higher and also the srt is a weighs more the our car so when you put proline on a actaul srt it will be lowered because of the extra weight

I promise you guys that with prolines you are gonna be about stock height or maybe a 1/2 lower then stock but no one will notice your drop no more. I am speaking from expierence.
