Preferably with 275/40's all the way around. :)

I've done a lot of searching and can find a lot of cars with 22's, but not too many with 20's.

Does anyone know the spring rates front and rear with the pro-kit? I'm aware they're progressive and not linear. How does the performance compare to the factory SRT setup? (I'd most likely be changing F&R sway bars at close to the same time so that can be factored in as well.)

Any issues with settling over time and miles? Obviously they'll settle in some, but I'm more concerned about noticeable loss of height. My car sees about 25-30K miles a year currently so I want something that'll last and not have to be replaced constantly. Same question goes for the Pro-damper set.

Also, any idea where eibach sources their dampers from? I've heard bilstein, but never have seen any confirmation.

I got bilstein heavy duty (like the srt8) shocks with the eibach pro kit springs.
My wheels are 20 inch original SRT8 alco forged wheels.

That is in fact exactly the type of pics I've been looking for, thanks. :)

How many miles do you have on them, how does it ride compared to stock? Any bottoming out?

My car has about 3,400 miles. I changed the struts and springs at around 1,000 miles. The car rides a little harsher compared to an SRT8 set up. You do feel the road more and the bumps also, but overall it rides nicely especially that I live in New York City where the roads are really bad. They don't bottom out. For me it is maybe the perfect setup besides a true coil over system that costs in the thousands$$$. The drop is said to be 1.5 in the front and 1.9 in the rear. I personally think it is lower but in a good way =). When driving hard on the highway it really goes where you point it with good response and minal body roll. The car hugs the road now compared to stock where it was like a floating boat.
