Hopefully the seller used a generic description and actually means front and rear struts.. Since neon's don't use shocks. gr-2 struts are essentially OEM quality replacements, so they are fine, but not the best for lowered cars. Don't have any input on the springs as i don't know of anyone on here running them.

Those were gas struts? Since you didn't like the KYB, try the Tokico's.

I'm pretty happy with my Tokico Blues, I have them paired with the Eibach Pro-Kit. I read mixed reviews on people complaining about the ride before buying them, but I actually think mine rides better than it did with the stock setup, given my stock r/t springs/struts had almost 100k miles when I replaced them.

just installed my ksport springs today, on stock struts and honestly the ride is smoother than before. but i am on debate for kyb or tokico and that will be done shortly not too big of a pain really to do the spring swap and im quite happy

Everything I've read points towards the Tokico's. But I guess that's a matter of driver preference as well!

Tokicos are the way to go...

they said an inch and half id say roughly that amount and here ill post a before and an after
before also winter mode

after also spring mode

good one for showing wheel gap difference but yours might be different since you got aftermarket struts
