yea...same size. the best affordable strutsyou can get right now would probably be the kyb-gr2 struts......i got a set off of ebay for $200....combined with the skunk 2 lowering springs....its a great ride.

idk what struts i have all i know is when i first got my neon it wasnt safe to drive cause it would naturally steer to one side of the road. this was be4 i was ever into modding neons i just wanted to drive it. so i got struts all around though a personal friend who is a mechanic who worked on it on the side made me get the more pricey struts so mine should be pretty good

these are good but if you can get ahold of some Koni's for 500 or so those would be better

Monroe muffler quoted me for $450 for the struts, alignment and labor. Is that a good price?
