Default 05 SXT lowering issue

OK. so i just bought a new 05 SXT.... this thing is riding so high. Does anyone recommend any springs that will bring this thing down even? I want to do a 2" drop, but I want the front & back to be level, not all jacked up like the back is now.

Please help!

haha, keep in mind ride height vs wheels. Id suggest a decent drop of maybe 1.2 - 1.5" if you plan on getting new wheels.

Other than that, there is such a diversity of products. Check out tire rack. They have an impressive selection of springs and struts for our neons.

If you want a 2" drop go with the Eibach Sportlines...but you will need to replace your struts fairly quickly since the drastic drop puts an extreme amount of excess stress on the stock struts. If you dont want o replace struts go to the Eiback Pro-Kit which gives a 1.2-1.5" drop. You will have to rteplace them eventually since any drop from stock puts excess wear on our struts...just keep in mind the larger the drop the quicker they blow...

Most people who drop their neons go with either the Eibachs with KYB struts or Mopar Coilovers. Both are great.
