I am thinking about replacing the springs on my 100th Anniversary so that the wheels fill the well a little better. Both of these springs seem to be about the same ride height although the Eibach's are a little more expensive. Which is better? I do have HID lights but they do not automatically level. I'm pretty sure I do not have air ride struts. Should I replace the struts if I do the springs?

I replaced just the springs when I did the Eibach Pros, I am going to eventually get the matching dampers just since I heard it is indeed better (ride) albeit not necessary.

I wonder if things have changed though...when I was shopping the Mopar springs were a 1" drop, while the Eibach were 1.7"?

Thanks for the reply. I have perused through several posts and your right the Eibachs are sit a little lower. I've read posts where some of the challengers come with self leveling struts. I looked through my build sheet and it didn't mention these kind of dampeners. Does keeping the stock struts hurt the ride? Will the struts wear faster?

The ride is a tad rougher, but not so much that it worries me. I will be doing the matching Eibach dampers regardless. I do hear that they will wear out prematurely since they are in a load situation they were not designed to handle... mine has been on for over a year without issue...but just hearsay and no evidence on my car.

As for the load leveling, probably not but what I looked for was them being labelled as Nivomats... pull the wheel, look at the part number and do a google to be sure. I "think" that is an SRT option but not sure....someone else may be able to chime in.

Thanks. I did that at lunch today.. well I didn't get the wheel off. I stuck my iphone back there and took some video lol. Anyway came back with part number P68072163AC. I called my Dodge Parts department to ask if they were the Nivomats, since I could not see it listed anywhere on the car. They said that my shocks cost about $60.00 so they can't be self leveling. The parts guy said that the self leveling ones are usually near or over $400 each. Not a clear confirmation. When I check the part number on factorymoparparts.net, they list it as a touring duty shock. Anybody know for certain if this part number is not the Nivomats?
