RE: SRT4 Suspension in a stocker Neon
Ride height may raise a touch up front for the clearance allowed for the large SRT4 tire and wheel package. But the parts are interchangable on all 2gn cars. You have to watch ride height when mixing SRT and Non-SRT struts and springs.
The SRT front control arms are also heavier duty to deal with the stress of the motor.
If you get into the knuckles steering geometry changes as well as the brakes. So if you swap to SRT stuff plan on switching to an SRT rack-n-pinion or altering the stock stuff.

RE: SRT4 Suspension in a stocker Neon
I have stock SRT struts with SRT springs, rear and front stock SRT sway bars on 17' SRT rims...
I picked up my front and rear sway bars for $20. That's $10 a bar! HAHA. Struts only cost me $60 and rims with tires were $200.
Installed everything myself, and if my dumbass can do it I think anyone can. QFT!

RE: SRT4 Suspension in a stocker Neon
So, I cannot use the SRT springs and struts without modifying or swapping out the front rack? Should I be looking for ACR springs instead?
Thanks.
Thanks.
