Notice how much the gap closes up due to the taller tire? Imagine it being even closer when a tire that had all of it's tread. This is why you can't run an SRT sized tire on a car with regular Neon struts. It just doesn't have enough clearance.

Thanks, the difference in length is between the perch and the lower part of the strut obviously, but is the overall length of the strut the same?

thanks for the great pictures.....
