Yes, but they will not lower it as much as it does an SRT-4.

The only difference between an SRT strut and an SXT strut is the perch height. As such you can use the Neon springs on either but depending on which strut you use will determine if you get the intended spring ride height.

Since SRT struts perches are higher the springs will be slightly shorter. If you put that on SXT struts the car will sit lower. Depending on the quality of your struts they may be able to handle it or blow out.

All non SRT struts are the same physically. The only different ones were the adjustables that came in the ACR's, and I believe the SRT ACR perches are the same as non-SRT units, but I could be wrong. R/T struts are valved the same as non-RT units IIRC.

Also, disregard my first post, I read your post wrong. The SRT Tein springs will be lower on non SRT struts, not taller.

Just use the parts that are made for your car. That way you don't run into questions/problems.

Seriously... How many people just told you they will work just fine, and you still don't believe it... I'll let you in on a little secret. All neon/SRT suspension parts are interchangeable. I know that's never been covered on here before, so don't go telling everyone. :thumbup:
