    LX HELP!!! Identifying SRT8 Suspension Parts!!!

    Hello, Tomorrow morning i am going to buy a Rear Cradle with all the suspension And Front Cradle with all the Suspension (Minus the Brembos) from a guy who says that it is all off of a 2008 Charger SRT8,

    Now what i would like to know is how can i be sure it is all from an SRT8 and not an R/T? I know they have different axles, differential ratios, knuckles and so on, But i am not sure by looking at them with an untrained eye i could tell for sure withouth the Brakes being there that they are from an SRT8, now i would think that there has to be some tell tale things to look for that would identify it as SRT8 Parts,

    Any Help Would Be Greatly Appreciated!!!!!!!!


    Thanks,
    Zac

    actually a R/T and a SRT rear cradle is the same, only difference it the rear differential is 215mm 3.06 gears (SRT) verse 210mm 2.82 gears (R/T), which can be identified by 4 flange drive shaft mounting flange (SRT), the coil springs, the shocks and the sway bar diameter .... every thing else is the same.

    The rear subframes are the same for all models levels. The only difference is between the AWD and the RWD. All the suspension arms are the same as well. The only difference would be the knuckles and the gear ratio should be stamped on the differential. The axles will be larger as well.

    Need a tire calculator? Use this one.
    Plenty more pics on my Facebook page

    No...they absolutely are not! Bilstien shocks will be on the SRT ,more progressive springs,a thicker front bar, The tension struts on the srt have a different bushing, steering rack is different from base r/t,same as daytona and r&t.

    You will be fine, but actually, the rear cradle itself is different from year to year and lx model to lx model (i.e. 300 to Charger). I'm not sure if there were differences from an RT to an SRT. Some of the structure of the cradle have holes in it or is not boxed in. As far as I know, the '09's and newer have the improved design.

    Like what was said above, look for the 4 flange driveshaft and diff input shaft setup for SRT.

    Also, you might have some pictures taken and post on here. Good luck.
