Suspenion swap question

Post by SRT-Wannabe » Wed Mar 12, 2008 1:14 pm

it's kinda hard to find a good suspension for the 01 r/t, and i remember reading somewhere that the rear disk brakes on the r/t are the same as the srt. wouldn't i be able to bolt on a mopar suspension upgrade for the srt-4 neon on my r/t, I figured from the 03' srt, they'd probably be the closest match. any input?

For the most part, just about everything suspension wise for the SRT can be used on the Neon and vice versa.

Rear discs on the Neon is the same as the SRT with the exception of the knuckle and thicker brake rotor on the SRT. Other than that, it's pretty much the same thing.

The front brake setups are completely different however.

You can use the SRT suspension upgrade on your Neon.

Or just get some coils from ModernPerformance.com. Check my garage for a picture.

As far as no suspensions available for your R/T....where have you looked? I'm rocking the KW/MP stage 3 coil-overs on my '02 (which they list different kits for SRT's and non...not sure of the difference). There is plenty available for your car. What are you looking for? Springs? Coil-overs? Poly bushings? All those things are available.
If I could just figure out how to meld the Outback and the Neon into one car...
