i have had BOTH H&R then recently went to the SRT8 Eibachs.

H&R leaves about an inch in the front and rear HOWEVER there is very little noticeable in ride difference from stock. I ran the H&R with WK bilsteins it RODE PERFECT.


BUT I WANTED MORE......so
I recently switched to the SRT8 Eibachs. In front I still have my WK bilsteins; in rear i have the SRT8 QA1 adjustables.

The ride is definitely sacrficed lots. I have the rears on 6 out of 20 setting and I have not bottomed out or slammed the rear. I have banged 2-3 times in the front and a few other near bangs. Also with the limited travel there is a small BOP; its much better with the QA1 but still not perfect.

I MAY try to take my front H&R and cut one coil off.

theers two Bilsteins shocks availabale for the WK platform...the aftermarket Bilsteins that folks here calll the WK Bilsteins and the OEM SRT8 Jeep Bilsteins. The Jeep SRT8 Bilsteins are the BEST by far IMO of the two.....but are very pricey,

I have the H&R Sport Springs on mine too, but I have 22" wheels so it fills the wheel well a little better, I would have liked it a half an inch lower in the rear, but I can live with it.

im coming from a BMW M3 and i know for a fact that using aftermarket springs will shorten the life of your stock shoks.

X2 ... stock shocks do not have the damping to work with a lowered spring, and will wear out even faster than they already do.

Looks good - getting ready to do mine. If you don't mind me asking, what did it run you (labor-wise) for the spring swap?
