Do you think upgrading the stock 300c suspension to the SRT-8 iw worth the money. I can get a good deal on springs and shocks and wanted to know if any of you guys have done this. The other option is to go with eibach or hotckis lowering springs.
I already have a set of the stock srt sway bars. Thanks
Anyone that has done this or heard good bad indeferent your comments are appreciated.

A LOT of people have gone this route and been very happy. Especially when you factor in that you'll only spend about $300 or so for the parts from a fellow LX member.
If you want the best... go either Air Ride suspension or KW Variant 2 coilovers (I have the KW's). Eibach springs will just make you want coilovers even more.. a LOT of people went that route. Bought and installed Eibachs, then went for the KW's. The Eibachs will be a bit bouncy, a little bit harsh, and not a lot of adjustment on the ride height.
With the KW's you can adjust the ride height to sit exactly where you want it to (from 1" higher than stock to about 3" lower), AND you can adjust the ride quality from Cadillac soft to race car firm and everything in-between.
Budget is a major factor though as KW's run $1600 before installation.
I htink you'll really like the SRT suspension honestly, and it'll drop the car about an inch or so after it has settled in.

I did and I love it..
and BTW as far as I recall the SRT and regular 300C sway bars are exactly the same..
Shocks and Springs are not.. nor are they the same from 300 to Magnum to Charger..
Charger SRT springs are the stiffest of the 3, 300 are the softest

I just replaced the struts and rear Nivomats with the SRT8 Magnum ones and kept the stock springs. The next step is the Hotchkis Sway bars. I'm not convinced that stiffer springs will make it handle better and with the strut and shock upgrade and the sway bars, the ride is pretty firm and it corners like a Miata. The next weak link will be tires, if you do the suspension.
