That's a complete downgrade... don't. I doubt it would even be noticeable.

Non-SRT springs are longer then SRT springs. So it will actually raise his SRT and ride like crap because they are the wrong spring rates.

The strut perches are taller on SRTs, hence the reason they fit bigger tires and their springs lower regular Neons.

Also, as already stated, the springs rates are aweful.
