For the prokit or any lowering springs that will lower it much lower than you would ever go, get aftermarket shocks.

However, you may be able to run first gen/acr struts on it without problems. I wouldn't run second gen struts on them unless you don't care if you blow them or not.

first gen rear struts fit, the fronts don't without some modification. go with the blues or illuminas, and make sure you have good bump-stops. the struts will still blow, but will probably take a few years to do so.

I believe either one will work. I've been told guys buy coilover setups for srt's and put them straight into their neons with no problems.

if your base struts dont have a lot of miles on them your eibach pro kit should be fine especially for a Daily Driver. If your gonna do autocross or something you should def look into aftermarket like Koni, KYB, Tokico, etc......

Though there is really no difference and the springs will bolt right up I would go with the SRT aftermarket struts. My reasoning is, the perch is higher and if you want to run larger wheels/tires at any time you can adapt far easier than the 2gn struts.
