I say go for the Eibach Pro Kit, i have never heard anything but good things regarding Eibach springs (and products in general)...but if you do have $1,000 to spend, go for the K-Sport coilovers...you cant beat the price with a stick, plus from the reviews I've read, there just as good as the Mopar coilovers, if not better.

i just got my 05 neon sxt and i just wanted to lower it a little. no racing parts or high performance parts i dont want to be able to turn on a dime. just a simple lowering job, will coilovers do? i found some on ebay shipped for like 60$. are these dangoures to the stock stuff i have now? the neon i have now will probobly never go over 65mph or ever even get close to redlining. i have a dodge magnum RT for all that good stuff, 340hp at my foot!! so can i go cheap on some springs for the neon, if i dont care about performance, without destroying my stocks? thanx jaime

Yes, I put mine on with a friends help. Took me about 4-6 hours with basic tools. I also had a spring compressor, that was about it though.

DO NOT BUY THE CHEAP COILOVERS FROM EBAY!!!!!
i bought a set a while back....there were the worst thing i ever bought....but i thought that i would see what they are all about.
they work horrible with stock suspension.
the problem i had with them is that between every piece of the coilover there are big rubber o-rings....the o-rings on mine would only last a week or two...then they would fall apart and every time you turn the wheel or hit a bump you would hear a creeking sound...it is the most embarrasing thing when driving down the road

DO NOT WASTE THE MONEY!!!!
