tokico illumina struts

Post by dawm » Sat Jun 04, 2005 1:40 pm

ok i need struts soon, and im thinking maybe tokico illumina struts, but my question is everything i lookup on the illumina says their for SRT4s, so they should work on my 02 R/T no problem, but will my eibach prokit springs? i recall someone saying their the same springs for 2000+ and SRT4 but i wanna make sure before i hunt down the best price. will they work with my springs on my 02 r/t?

Well... I'm going to say this... people put SRT springs on regular Neons... thus Neon springs should also work on the SRT-4. Since the spring perches sit higher on SRT-4 struts b/c of tire clearance the prokit MIGHT not lower it as much on neon struts... but thats just how I'm thinking it through. Make any sense.... but to answer your qestion... I'd say they'd still work.

well i was looking at eibach's site like 2mins ago and noticed the following

2003+ SRT-4 PRO-KIT Part #:2820.140
Front 1.6 in
Rear1.8 in

2000+ NEON PRO-KIT Part #:2820.140
Front 1.5 in
Rear1.5 in

Same PN#'s just different drops, so that would mean that SRT struts with my current prokit springs would work, and increase the drop a tad

i guess i answered my own question :P

now my question is, since the SRT has 17"s with a bit more rubber then the rest of the neon family, does this mean the drop wont be the same. i mean i like my ride height now, i dont want to ruin it, but id like adjustable struts and well im gonna be needing struts soon anyways (almost 48k on the clock, unknown milage on the springs+stock struts)

It will be a little different but you may not even notice it.
