So i'm just wondering if anyone has any pics of a 2000 with the SRT shocks or struts on it? just wondering if its much of a difference in look or not. I'm doin some things to my suspension such as possible buying front and rear strut bars from ebay and i liked the look of the SRT so i thought why not just buy SRT springs and struts but i was just wondering if anyone has any pics? Google is not my friend when it comes to these things

SRT Struts/SRT Springs: should look about the same

SRT Struts/non-SRT Springs: car will be raised about .5"-.75"

non-SRT Struts/SRT Springs: car will be lowered about .5" - .75"

Hope this helps.

so theres no real benefit to the SRT struts and springs compared to my stock 00 ones, damn

depends on what you consider a benefit... The srt struts and springs are much more aggressive values than the non srt ones. Handling would take a fairly decent step forward but at the expense of ride quality.

not really

unless you want to run a taller tire, like the SRT sized tire (205/50/17) but that will make your speedo/odo slightly inaccurate.

didn't realize there would be that much a difference in handling

umm, big difference in my car once I put SRT springs on. Now I have SRT struts and first gen RT springs.

ok so would it be better to buy the srt gear for handling or buy some other set online and lower it?

I'd say go aftermarket... just my preference

I thought SlvrACR or his brother is running the SRT springs on Non-SRT struts...

My thoughts on this are actually rather simple...

If you have the money for aftermarket springs and struts, then you might as well get non-inverted coilovers, get more adjustability, full control of ride height, and (if you get BC's) front camber adjustment. As well as NO spring perch so you can run any tire/wheel combo you want.

If you want to save money and still get reasonable results, just get stock SRT struts, which have a bit more agressive valving on them, pair them with low-cost springs that DON'T have too stiff a spring rate, and not only improve your handling, but the higher perch lets you run with a bigger wheel/tire combo, which while very slightly changing your speedometer reading, you will also eliminate a lot of the notorious Neon wheel gap.

The guys who don't have the SRT stock struts setup will always suggest against it. Those of us who run with that setup will always tell you it works well, great bang for buck.

What does that tell you?
