Default Got the springs now where are the shocks?

So I lowered my RT with the pro-kit and feel as if I have destroyed my shocks already. Does anyone make a performance shock yet? I have been searching but make and model never comes up with a match. I’d like a set of tokiko, bilstein, or something performance. Any help would be appreciated.

Exactly why I sold my eibachs and replaced them with KW coilovers. No one is making shocks/struts at this time. Eibach is supposed to be coming out with some, but who knows if and whem?

Where and how much were the coilovers. If I knew they were out I would have bought them.

Thanks again

I talked to Eibach today. The dampers they were supposed to release for the Magnum are no longer on their calendar. However their new adjustable coilovers are coming out in the middle of next month for the Magnum and 300. MSRP is $1560. See more details at the Eibach site.

Obiwan, how does your coilover ride compare with stock? Riding down 680 from the GIFOPE I got real tired of all the bouncing around.

That's a lot of money for a set of coilovers. Why is it you can purchase coilovers for a ricer under $500 but for the Mags its over $1500. How much does it cost to produce? Someone is making a killing. Before I sunk that kind of money in coilovers I would look into baggin' the car, unless you're looking into performance, then I would look into a swaybar kit or something to tie in with Eibach drop. I've got the pro kit on my mag and the ride is very smooth. Maybe the shocks are different in the SXT's. If that the case, a set of shocks from the SXT may be the ticket.

What about trying the SRT-8 Mag shocks / parts? Those might be better rated?

I'd really just like a set of nice performance shocks for the RT. And yea, why 1500 for coilovers.. Geeze.. How much are the KW coil overs?
