It doesn't matter b/c if you're even close to stock you're still not going to pass 120 mph. The only way you're going to pass that mark is if you're seriously modded.[&:]

hell my neon pulls strong right up till the gov i think ill pass 120 without any probs...
Looking at your mod list, you might barely pass it, but you won't be going much faster than 120 and no you did not build your car to handle it unless you have Z rated tires and Koni's on there, not to mention a brake upgrade of some kind.

you guys are really BRAND hyped i dont know if theres a huge differance but if its not the brand you guys like then there no good

just been looking around and you always go with name brand stuff prolly cuz its good or watever but i belive all performance struts are made the same??

im pretty sure the koni are struts your talking about ?

just was curious

i will usually probably get the cheapest you might not think its the best but as far as i know it all works the same

they are all built differently
konis are built with the best quality


it's like the eBay springs
they might look the same as any other springs
but ruin your struts

cheap struts are fine for regular driving......kyb's for a bit harder driving....and konis are for the hardcore driver/racer.....try using some $20 autozone struts for autocross or ralley racingthey just wont hold up

not to mention you can change the stiffness of your ride with the konis

but not as good as konis
if i had the money, then i would never get anything other then konis

try loading 900 pounds of newspapers in the trunk and back seat of a neon with a set of kyb struts.....with the konis, my car didnt squat one bit....didnt even look like anything was in the car
