2002 RT Struts

I am going to the bone yard to pick up some "new" rear struts for my 02 RT. Do they need to come from another RT or will any neon do??

the r/t have different valving for stiffness and also a bracket for the rear sway bar end links to connect to.Other models did come with rear sway bars but not the better struts so its up to you , you can either find another rt to keep the strut performance or find one with at least a rear sway bar so you can bolt up your suspension.

Would an STX rear strut fit the RT minus the strut bar tab?? Is the spring perch height the same?

Yes. The dimensions are the same.

If you are going without sway tabs, remove the bar completely, so it doesn't cause issues.

Be prepared for it to handle differently also. I would recommend the SXT fronts too, to match the valving. It might get a bit more unpredictable otherwise.
