I wonder if he only did two of them. He was in need of two struts last week at the meet. Wanted my old ones, but I told him he'd have to fight my gf for them haha.

went for a lil drive on some serious twisties to test the new setup(teins, tokicos, srt rear sway, rear stb) its amazing... handles so much better and sticks even with little tire left. and the normal driving is 100x smoother.. took some snaps while on the road.. it was a nice view

I'd say so! I rode around on sleeve style adjustable coils for about 5 months in my very first neon. Holy cow do they suck compared to a real suspension. Plus you happened to upgrade to the best spring/shock/sway setup there is available. Nicely done!

Damn, that's a lot of bug splatter. Did you get your Mopar front bumper badge from that one website... showparts.net or something thereof? That's where I had mine when I had an '03+ front bumper. Had a buddy use a dremel to shave it down (just saying, since I noticed that yours is all... not flush).

Love the suspension setup though!

I was going to do the blackout when I had cudas but opted against it. On your car, it wouldn't go with anything. If you wanna do something on the exterior either snag some atlantic blue handles from an SXT or paint yours.
