Front and rear strut bars

Post by Caraudioholic24 » Tue Mar 24, 2009 1:44 pm

Hey everyone. Im lookin to purchase front and rear strut bars. I want the dc cs-2 ones but i only see them listed for the srt-4s. Has anyone put them on a reg neon. I want the front and rear. I see modern has stopped selling them because dc is going through a name change or something. Let me know and if you can find a company selling them in stock that would be a plus as well.
Thanks

They'll work, but you may or may have clearance issues with your hood on the front. Then again, you may not. Some people do while others don't.

they work fine. It might slightly dent the underside of your hood, but not enough to show on the topside.

The front strut bars don't make that much of a difference in handling with our cars since the strut towers are so close to the firewall.

mopar one fits exactly the same. If you are really worried, get a mpx, or afx bar.
