    Newbie

    Hey all, I bet some of you know who I am seeing as I am a forum member of another well know SRT forum.

    Just wanted to stop by and say Hi. Glad I found another SRT-4 forum I can go to for information. That is all.

    Welcome!
    Lots of good info here as many folks have not only the original turbo-mopars but the newer stuff as well.
    If you'd like let us know a bit about you.

    Nice car, I'm surprised you being in the Navy that long you don't have some yellow stripes running down it ala blue angels style.

    Re: Newbie

    Dang, I was hoping you'd say MP stage 1's
    Thats what I have in a box, been there for about 4 years now, too chicken to put them on.
    I must be getting old, car rides rough enough without adding stiffer springs.
    Didn't you used to do powder coating over on the SRT forums, or am I thinking of someone else.?

    Absorbent underwear!

    Gah, sorry... Depends! Get the shock and spring very well matched and the ride can get more supple.
