My guess is he modded the stock struts by cutting the perches and using coilover sleeves.

And what makes you think they aren't blown exactly? Neons' struts have a notoriously low tolerance for severe lowering, but hey, if you like it, thats what counts. :thumbup:

It definitely looks dumped, which I think looks awesome!

Either a cut spring, or a rewelded perch.

if he rewelded the perch, wouldnt that make the struts blow even faster? because i would think there would be so much more work on the strut.

They don't have to leak to be "blown". It does look good though but I can't imagine that the ride quality is any good. Please don't say you bought coilover sleeves :(. And LOL at the Panther Pink.

when your 60's are that high it is the driver not the suspension.
