Sxt lowering springs on Srt struts

Post by riepr90 » Mon Oct 08, 2012 1:46 pm

hi

searched for it but couldn´t find it.

I got sxt lowering springs on oem sxt srtuts.
Now i bought oem srt struts.

Now my question is,will the sxt lowering springs raise the car a little on the srt struts?
(because of the spring perch)

thanks.

The higher spring perch will raise the car by the difference of the perches. If it is 1/2" the car will be 1/2" higher than it was with the SXT struts. It won't change the springs lift at all.

The only way it would, is if the SRT struts didn't add any travel to the rod for the higher perch. From my understanding, that is not the case.

I'm sure that will be either confirmed, or corrected. :lol:
