If your talking about the Satellite Sebring then it's as close as the Neon is to the SRT-4. The regular Satellites are completely different in almost every way.

11"x3" drums front 11"x2'1/2" rear, up from 10"x21/2" all round. Larger diameter torsion bars and sway bar. Rear springs are biased with the right spring pack having two half leaves (7 total) for torque control. Stock springs are 5 ply each. I'm not sure if Mopar started using the 71/4" integral rear in 68 or not. It may or may not have a wider radiator 22" vs 26" I think.
My 1968 factory manual is in my garage so any or all of this could be wrong.

The late 60's Sports are basically the same as the 70's Sebring versions of the Satellite and are very much like the Roadrunners in appearance, but the drivetrain and suspensions are usually different.

Most of the 60's Satellites had 318's,273's and some 225 slant 6's and a few had big blocks from what I understand.
