I have the pro kit eibachs on my acr. I now cant stand these. They were installed when I bought it and I have grown to hate them. I need a spring that is less of a drop but still gives a nice firm ride.

Kazera Springs from tirerack.com.. Had them on my R/T. Good spring rate, great handling, and good for everyday driving.

What kind of drop do they give

the perfect 1.5 front and 1.4 rear

look up Hotchkis springs/ Suspension Techniques Springs.

here are some pics of a guy droped on suspension techniques springs









search srt forums for hotchkis pics.

Ya thats more what im looking to get

if you get them, i will buy your eibachs off you.

You'll regret loosing your nice Eibachs for cheapo's. I'd stay hi-end with Hotchkis units. Maybe even Teins.
I say get some Sportlines. Drive on those all winter, you'll miss your ProKits immediately.

Yea I dont wanna buy cheap ones thats why I figured Id ask before I spend all the money and hate them

Go with the mopar springs for the SRT-4. 1 inch drop, same spring rate as srt springs.

hehe i guess posting my car is useless then

^^ is that your car?

whats wrong with the prokit? too low?! its like 1.5". I guess the ride is rough..



for a pansy! jk

I love my prokit. I wanna go lower sometimes, cuz the car still looks high off the ground. 5.5" clearance from the lowest point on the front lip to the ground. I could go for another half inch and be happy. So what if its bumpy.

Its not that its rough. I think the rear is to low. I wanna run a wider tire and its gonna end up f;in up my 1/4 panel it seems if I have people in the back.

It will not rub or mess up your 1/4 panel......May car is about 3" off the ground with no wheel gap and I have no problem fitting 2 sister-in-laws and my son in the back with a trunk load of water, diapers, and other such items from Costco packed into my trunk.....Actually it makes my ride a little smoother......But I also have coilovers with higher spring rates

What size tire you running

I have the pro kit and i love them. i can have a full car load and nothihng rubs at all. Tires are Nitto NT450 205-55-15's

you have to realize that a good set of lowering springs have stiffer (higher) spring rates, which translates to LESS chance of bottoming out due to weight. the soft stock springs are weak and will give to a couple passengers. Then again, in my case i dont have any need to worry about things like that, since having rear passengers isnt possible How wide of tires do u wanna go for? you might wanna think about how youll clear the strut perch before worrying about smackin the quarter panel when looking to widen the rubbers

I have Vogtland Sport springs and they are a bit stiffer so the bottom out less then stock but the rear is not much stiffer than stock. Rides good but can be a little stiff on rough roads. On the interstate not too bad at all.

my setup is very stiff, but not quite racecar status (sadly ) haha. my rear only hits the stops every once in awhile, but im working on getting that fixed as soon as i get a free night. me and the guys are gonna have some beer and tear the suspension apart all night!

I'm going with the Mopar Stage 1 springs personally...they seem to go over pretty well with the SRT crowd...not too low of a drop and have basically the same spring rate as stock SRT springs...as soon as my SRT-4 ACR struts arrive, I'm gonna try and find a used set of the Mopar springs on srtforums or just buy them from Modern...

the thing i dont like about the mopar springs is the largely noticable difference between the front and rear drops. most springs for our cars lower the rear a hair more than the front, but the mopar ones seem to do so even more, making it look like theres 3 fat people in the back seat. haha

1st Gen ACR/RT Springs are about 1.25 drop and they are the same as the Mopar Stage 1 springs. I have them and it rides find. My friend has coilovers on his car and his is A LOT rougher than mine. You will also save lots of $ money for a good product.

yup KPLAYA u r right in some things..

1.25" is R/t ACR springs..make sure u get the right ones..or u will be like me

NON - acr/rt and i got a 2.25"-2.5" drop

lol, every picture I've seen of SRT's with stage 1's makes the car maintain it's butt raped stance, just lower overall...of course they have taller struts than stock neon struts, but they still have the same stance...here's a nice little collection that someone made of all the different spring/strut/coilover combos for SRT's...figured it'd be a nice link for some others who are undecided on what to go with as well...

I have 1st gen ACR springs on mine and I love the way they handle, ride, and I think the amount of wheel gap is perfect. And they only cost me 80 bucks.
