SRT-4 Suspension for 2nd Gen

Hard to find these used as most srt-4 owners have no need to swap out struts or springs since it's already tuned well.
If you want as close to a factory srt-4 ride your choice is simple, Eibach springs and tokico struts.....
If you want to do it on a semi budget....use same springs ( IIRC $190 for all 4 ) But go with KYB struts which will run you about 200 less than tokico..
I found an entire set New in box on craigslist for $75.
I'd never buy used struts personally, and the spring set is cheap enough new not to want to buy used.

Think it's an inch but they also sit on 17"s factory, also I think the drop in rear was more than front as they lacked the 4x4 stance the SE/SXt neons had.

Surprisingly, even with that 4x4 stance, the front of my car still manages to bottom out in places around town That's part of the reason I'm a bit apprehensive about lowering my car. My friend still has his stock SRT springs I think. I might just use those do to the low amount of drop they give.

I'm surprised you bottom out, I live in providence R.I. and i think they have like a patent on potholes becasue no one does potholes better than my state/town.
I've watched navigators come down my street at like 40mph, meet pothole 20 ft from my house and drop the entire drivers side of there suspension in 2 secs flat, flat tire busted up fender wheel laying sideways, balljoint snapped and even with those kind of conditions/potholes I have yet to bottom my front end out.
I think if going eibach the kit i've been reccomended was the sportline not the proline ( which is more agressive of a drop ) and not as close to factory ride.
