LOWERING SPRING BRANDS AND DROPS!!!!

Post by lilnicko11 » Tue Feb 08, 2011 12:26 pm

So I got bored today while in class and started looking up some of the various lowering spring brands and their drops. Couldn't find a thread that was like it. All data for the Neon involves only second generation 00-05 Neons and SRT4's. If I have missed a popular brand. Please let me know and I will add it. I thought this could be useful to all people looking and comparing different springs and how much they lower you. Also, at the bottom of this post I have attached the link to the sticky where you can see a previous post about spring rates.
