Default just wondering, need your help.

i have a question. i want to install the stock srt-4 strutson my 2003 dodge neon se. is that going to fit? right now my stock struts are in the way of me buying a bigger tire. i was thinking that if i could install the srt4's struts i could buy bigger tires and reduce the gap between my tires and car instead of droping it. would that work alittle? it would be great if any could give my advice.

Yes, i am running SRT-4 struts and springs. It's a great improvement in terms of performance over the stock neon struts. Ride is much smoother and bumps don't give you head aches.

Took me about 1 1/2 to do all 4 with a friends help. But that involves removing the old ones and tires off, on, cornbread breaks.

I got all 4 struts with top hats for $60...deffinetely a cheap solution as opposed to girly man tires 205-40-17 is ftl

Thats a good idea in theory, but not in practice. Mostly because the larger the overall diameter of your tires get over stock, the larger the amount your speedometer will be off. Not to mention the weight and transmission ratio issues/changes...
