I probably would not do that as the ride height is dependant on weight, and the 1gens dont weigh nearly as much as the 2gen cars do.

you can and they will fit.....but they wont lower your car as much as 1st gen springs will....
i had a set of gold line springs on my old r/t just to see how they would look that were off of a 2000 neon......i cut a bit off of them to make it lower
a set of 2nd gen drop springs that lower 1 inch will make your car sit the same height as the stock spring you have on your car now

i cut about half the spring off the back and about 2 spirals off the front......im not sure exactly how much it lowered the car but it looked pretty good....i do not sugest that you buy springs and cut them though....all it will do is cause you problems
