SRT's strut perches are .2 inches higher than SXT's. So instead of the 2.0" drop, you'll get 1.8", if I am correct. :?

I know some guy on SRTforums bought regular Neon struts and it lowered his car the .2 inches extra.

ya i think that makes sense. lol i was also thinking the spring rates would probably be different because srt-4 is heavier which would make it even less of a drop. if anyone has actually done this please let me no. if my fears are correct, any SRT-4 guys looking to buy brand new Teins?

I have TEIN's on my blue tokico's and the drop it great it is not as low as normal neon springs. the srt springs make is sit a bit higher.
I have a 2000 Neon loook at my posts if you want pics of the drop. can also post pics if you cant find them.

i think i read somewhere that if you put stock srt springs on a non-srt neon you will lower the car ~.5"

Thats correct Frank. Which makes me think that putting lowering springs intended for an SRT on a Neon, will lower it even more.

thats what i would think.

take what ever the spring company says for the drop and add a half an inch. so the pro kits drop, 1.5 (i think) you would probably get pretty close to a 2.0" drop.
