TEIN S.TECH SPRINGS FOR NEON SRT-4....QUESTIONS

Post by bris » Wed Feb 28, 2007 11:29 pm

Will they fit my 02 R/T with stock struts?
How much drop should I expect?
What kind of handling?
Are they quality springs?

Any input would be appreciated.
Thanks.

I have the s-tech for the neon, and they work fine with my stock struts. The ride is a little rough though, but they are great quality springs ( that sounds a little contradictory but it is what it is)

Investing in a good set of struts should help out the ride quality a little.

The advertised drop for those springs is 2 inches...after they settle is a tad bit more than that...don't expect to be able to jack up your car without driving on blocks, or use the factory jack.

...and the radiator air dam will scrape with big enough bumps or inclines/declines

:withstupid:

I think they would work great with your car. You would probably end up with about a 2" drop.
