IIRC, the SRT ACR perch height is the same as a regular Neon
Either way, the springs from his car will work with your struts. Worse to worse you may get a .5" drop.
If I could just figure out how to meld the Outback and the Neon into one car...

Whether it is or not, I wouldn't mix and match struts on a car. That just seems like a very dumb thing to do.

Huge difference or little difference, a difference is a difference. The front half of the car will react one way and the rear will react another way. Not such a great idea, IMHO. Not unless it's a race car and it's designed to do that... which does not sound like it's the case.

Nope, it will be equally bad.

Doesn't mean it's safe, or a good idea.

Huh? Not to be an ass or anything, but is English not your first language? Your posts are very difficult to understand.

Ah, OK. That's better, haha. If your wheels fit on your stock suspension, they will fit on the ACR one, yes.
