Hello all,
I am new to the forum although I am not new to Dodge. I have owned a 96 Neon 2 door MTX for a few years, the rear struts were shot so I replaced them with KYB GR-2 struts, a bit more money but I wanted something a little more stiff then stock. Here is where it get's strange, after replacing the struts(retaining the stock springs), the ride height of the rear increased 1+ inches. Any ideas what might cause this? or does anyone have a cure?

Thanks in advance!

probably just the fact that the new struts aren't slagging as much as the old ones.

 

im wit crazy it was most likely because ur old ones were shot so it was sagging and you got used to that look so know ur car aint saggin anymore andi dont think there is a cure unless u want to put lowering springs in it lol..

 

I think your probably right, I'll either live with it or find some lowering springs. I see a lot of "coil over" adjustable type on Ebay but I am pretty sure they are cr*p. Plus I don't really want to lower the front, just the rear a small amount.
