you should be just fine.

Coilovers don't have the spring perch issue between basic and srt as strut and spring combinations.

All SRT coilovers are totally compatible with all 00-05 Neons, and vise versa.

megan, or bc. i'm not sure if i'm ballsy enough to go as low as the bc set in michigan, we do have the worst roads ever.

but the rear struts are going out so i figured why replace a stock bit that i'm gonna want to get rid of any way.
