Hey Guys i got about 5 or 6 questions for yall.

So i'm looking to lower my neon because the stance finally drove me up a wall so i was going to go with the k sport gt lowering springs are they any good? i don't really care if its a stiff ride or anything and with these im going to be replacing the rear struts to hook up a rear bar so are these gonna work for what im doing or are the going to blow out fast i know they're oem replacement types but still.

I'd stay away from those monroe struts, not ideal for lowering springs. Tokico hp are the probably the best, but prices on them sky rocketed after japan's nuclear meltdown. Kyb gr2 are the next best and usually cost about $60 a piece.

The ksport springs seem to be decent, haven't heard a lot about them though. The h&r limited edition springs are a good bang for the buck, they are still $99 on a few sites http://www.silverimageracing.com/pd-edi ... -00-05.cfm

h&r i hear are good, megans are good as well with a 2" drop..

just go with kyb-gr2's for struts...

or save up for coilovers ;P which is what im doin...

alright the kyb gr-2 struts and im still leaning on the k-sports cause i like the look and how they are really tough.

Really which coil-overs you getting? ive looked at the megans but the second i had the money for them i spent it on other parts

i've got mopar springs and they're not too bad. they don't seem to
take away too much ride comfort IMO. yeah its noticeably rough, but
not enough to hurt your back.

i've heard lots about the megans and h&r's. personally i just want
reliable, adjustable struts that will give me just that extra 2" drop in
the back. i love the front where its at now.
