Default I have a few questions...

Hi there me again and I got some questions of my own. First is there anything out there for underbody bracing? I hear there is no point in upper strut braces and that I should just upgrade my stock struts but are there upgrades that I can do with out lowering my car? I live in Maine and the pot holes and bad roads here are a no no for lowered cars. I see many lowered cars that are banged up because of the roads. Is ther such a thing as a rear seat delete kit? Also has anyone had a problem with the "Only Crash Tested Lambo Door kit"? (sorry forgot the brand name) And Lastly has any one done a Suicide door conversion on the back doors and had success?

Yes, Bwoody and a few other companies make H-braces and other underboady bracing for the Neon/SRT-4.

I hear there is no point in upper strut braces and that I should just upgrade my stock struts but are there upgrades that I can do with out lowering my car?
I wouldnt say there is no point, there are just other suspension modifications that will have more affect on overall handling performance compared to the upper tower strut bars. Other upgrades would be full coilover systems, larger swap bars (which would add a rear bar for Non-R/T or ACR Neons), higher rate springs (not necesarilly lowering springs, just higher rate), just to name a few.

Is ther such a thing as a rear seat delete kit?
There isnt a "kit" on the market, but its easy enough to have a custom panel made out of fiberglass, carbon fiber, or any other material you wanted.

Not sure what brand you are talking about but I have the Vertical Doors Inc. kit. It was a fairly strait forward convertion and I have had them on my neon for about 4 or 5 months now and thew work great everytime. You can get the VDI kit for around $1400, yes there are cheaper ones but the VDI kits have a lifetime warranty on the hinge assembly. Sometimes gets a little annoying having to teach people how to properly close the door, other than that no problems with the kit at all.
