R/T Springs vs. Regular Neon.

I'm going to be raising my car back to stock height soon, the R/T always sat sooo damn high though.

I was noticing regular Neons look a little lower...

Would regular 2gn springs lower the car at all? Or should I stick with the R/T setup. I still want it to handle well...

Maybe some of those regular ones just had some spring sag. I have seen a few SXT's that still look like a cat in heat.

To keep some of your handling, you will need a higher rate spring to help with body roll. Don't know what sway bar(s) you have, but a stiffer set will help there too. But it still won't be as responsive due to being higher.

Of course coil overs will also give you a stock height too, but that seems counter productive, at least for the cost. But on the plus side, you could get it close, and keep a decent stance. Keeping the rear from being 4 feet off the ground always helps.

srt springs will give you a slight drop ~ .5 inch all the way around,I have some I'll sell cheap if you want them

I think R/Ts look higher due to the 16" wheels with smaller profile tires

well i'm picking up some 15'' 7 spokes with tires for cheap soon.

that will give me my stock look.... it was ALSO give me time to think of my next Silverstone wheel colour.
