In The Market For Lowering Springs
Eibachs and Teins give horrible rides. Teins, in my experience, have blown lower control arm bushings first shredding them to pieces, then struts (I did two replacements on two different cars for these reasons caused by Tein springs). My friend has my old Eibach Pro-Kit, the drop is great looking, but the ride is not. I have two other people I know with Eibach kits that absolutely hate them. [/align][/align]I went with Mopar Stage 1 springs, They've been on for a well over a year now, and all of my bushings are still intact, and my struts are fine. Take into consideration riding on low profile tires with lowering springs will give a less than desireable ride, but with my 15s in the winter and the Mopars on, you would never know while riding in it, that my car was lowered.[/align]
I know a ton of srt4 guys and r/t guys that have the prokits for there drop and srt8 guys also and they love those springs so you did your research just dont get the sportlines with out getting some nice struts they are horrible with stock struts very low drop also . I would rate the mopars the best and than the goldlines and than the prokits for springs and mopar stage 3 for coilovers .

Goldline is pretty much one of the coolest drops for a srt4 and will work awesome on a acr .I had stage3 coilovers on mine which is the best drop ever for a srt4 or acr pricey but well worth the money. I would get some stage3 coilovers for that acr of yours . You wont regret getting them and youll love the drop.

any input on the ride & quality of the Goldlines? I'm thinking of getting them for my ACR. And any install tips.

i got the Moparstage2 coilovers on mine and i love them, for normal driving they feel very comfortable and wen u hit a corner hard they make the car handle very good as well.I had the eibach pro-kit springson my old car and theyhandle great,but they make the ride prettyrough. So if u wanta smooth ride and performance i'd say go with the mopar stage2 or 3 coilovers (good performance and very comfortable ride).
the transmission fill hole is a black rubber plug on the front of the tranny near the upper intercooler pipe, just look in that area and u cant miss it. just pull it out and fill her up, and like everyone says "dont forget the additive"
Sweet! Thanks for the info. (And thank's AirWolf) I went to the 1320' for Friday night street races this Friday. 1st time on a strip. Electronics where down so no time slips. I did take an Evo, a Trans Am. (not LS1, but a V8) and another SRT-4 ('03 I think) The track was atrickyto launch on, I kept spinning out. Hella-fun though!
