could have coilovers also. there are three stages of suspension upgrades from mopar. s1 is springs, s2 and s3 are coilovers.

hmm i never heard of a dealership lowering a car but maybe thats just in my area. but keep in mind it didn't have to be mopar they could have had extra tokico suspensions around or what not b/c of the acr editions but that would have to be a dodge dealership of course but still i never heard of a dealership lowering a car [sm=massbounce.gif]

Most dealerships will install any Mopar/Mopar Performance parts for a price and they very well could have. They will also install non-Mopar/MP parts as well, but this is less likely the case. The '99 Neon R/T I had before getting my SRT-4 had almost every Mopar Performance part made for itbought by the previous/original owner who had the dealership install all of them as well as the Rex MM inserts. Any parts that are not factory original replacements are not covered under any warranty, but some dealerships will cover the Mopar Performance parts if they install them even though they are not required to. A good dealership will at least cover them for a year or so just to keep your business and to gain new business by word of mouth.

My dealership here is not so hot, they will install a Mopar Perm. Part for a price but will only give me 90 days of a warranty?!?

I asked where it says 90 days anywhere...they said it was common knowledge!!!

typical "stealership!"

the salesman said it was lowered? i mean, not generalizing to all salesman, but many have no idea what they are talking about when it comes to tech knowledge, so the salesman probably dosent even know. but its very possible the previous owner had some mopar goodies installed by the dealership

[sm=jawdrop.gif]private seller, that could be dangerous posibly more dangerous then a salesman only this guy probably doesn't have the greasy hair. if the guy tells you its stock but forgets to mention that it was lowered.....hmm something smells fishy be careful man at least have a mechanic or someone who knows about srt's go with you this car may not be so good. just my 2 cents
