Ok so i ordered a front strut bar..... is it ok to put it on without having a rear one? or should i get one for the rear and then put them both on?

 

Its ok to throw it on.You don't even need the rear one,for the most part lowering your car will take care of all that extra handling you need.Make sure you use good polyurethane bushings like the ones from energy suspension when you install.Other wise it wont really make any difference.

 

can I ask what the heck they do?

 

Tower strut bars are designed to eliminate “flex� in the vehicle chassis. A tower strut bar allows the vehicles suspension and chassis to remain rigid even through high velocity turns. On the Neon, the rear tower strut bar will be more affective than a front bar, however, both are recommended along with upgraded sway bars. But to answer your question, no, you dont need both of them...

 

it made a small difference on my car, the lowering springswith front and rear strut bars made a big difference

 

Will a front strut bar from an 05 SRT-4 fit on my 05 SE? or does it have to be one for the SE model?

 

It should fit exactly the same.
