If you want OEM SRT struts, go with the Monroe Sensa Tracs for an SRT. Nitehawk had them so he may be able to give you part numbers. If you want aftermarket valved ones, just go with Tokico HP blues! :thumbup:

i was expecting a picture of the neon on the ground with no struts. this thread makes me sad. :rofl:

get the blues, best bang for the buck, or just save for coilovers, you will want them eventually

Not necessarily, a lot of people will never have a need for coilovers other than looks and any coilover I've ever had rides like a wood cart with square wheels. IMO The adjustability of coilovers is great but for the cost its not really practical in a DD application.
Also +1 on tokicos im ordering some soon hopefully

then you have never had good coils, a good set of coils will make you want to throw your lowering springs in the trash. the key is spring rates matched to what you want and dampening adjustment.

Driving my car you would have no idea it is on coil-overs...until you push it :twisted:
If I could just figure out how to meld the Outback and the Neon into one car...

I'll give another +1 on the Tokico Blues. They have served me well.
