Default Is there Two Eibach Pro-Kits?

Just to make sure but is there two Pro-Kit's, one for the Rt and one for the others? I know the sportlines are only for the RT. The reason I ask is that I installed the Pro-Kit into the front last night and drove it around the block to turn the car into the drive backwards and I heard some spring rattling, the sound of as if the spring were too short and it were bouncing around in the carriage. I have done this many times with no issues on other cars. Just wondering if there is something I am missing before I strip off everything again to fix the front and install the wrong rears. And yes I am putting the correct springs in the front. Thanks in advance.

Fixed the problem. Looks as if one of the sway bar links came loose during the swap. Took a few peoples eyes to notice it but problem over. Car looks sweet.

Thanks

I used the 'ProKit' set, which I 'think' is the 1.9" drop, but it 'might' be the 1.3" - the box is around somewhere, I'll look tomorrow.

Anyone want some slightly used stock RT springs?

I think it handles, rides and looks a BUNCH better...

I passed a C5 Corvette today, and it dawned on me that I don't really want one anymore - altered slightly from stock, the Magnum is a much cooler car, at least for me

ProKit is 1.3" Sportline is 1.8"

IMHO the ProKit lowers the car more than 1.3" seems more like 1.5" AT LEAST

I think I may go with the ProKit....the Sportline set may just be a bit too low.

It sounds like those that have the ProKit on their cars are happy.

After installing the pro-kit I would suggest not going lower than that. The ride looks good and it for sure lowered more than the stated 1.4 rear / 1.3 front. The sportline states 1.9 and I can just imagine you would wipe the undercarriage on a good bump. What I think it needs is some good shocks. Any from bilstein or Koni yet?

I'm going to go with the Eibach shocks I think - but not till the money tree flowers again...
