    Hey guys, what are the best springs to lower an SRT-4 Neon? My buddy will sell me some Tein for a hundred bucks, He put full coil-overs on and no longer needs the springs. Also, what spark plug is recommended for a stock SRT-4 Neon(just have intake, Exhaust, MSD coil/wires).

    Thanks, Zack.

    If you have the funds get some coilovers

    but if you dont a real stiff spring with not too much sag is Gold Line springs
    there 1.8 drop all around thats what im currently using.
    They gave me a confiedent feel in corners when on a Road Course or AutoXing

    If he will give u them for that price get them,
    for Spark plugs go NGK one step colder and gap them around 35

    u need to be careful of tein springs cause alot are fake and they give a crummy ride but the best type of springs are coilovers. the mopar springs are best with the stock shocks cause they only lower 25mm and less of a chance of blowing out your shocks and as for spark plugs stay wit stock cause of very little mods and get rid of the msd coil cause there junk with no gains

    for the springs, the tiens seem to be pretty darn good, the///man put thenm on his way back in the day and they made that car handle much better. go for the cheap set if all you are looking for is drop, if you're really looking for handling then save up for Coilovers.

    for the spark plugs, go to napa and ask for some NGK 4306's and you'll be set.

    he doesnt have enough HP for a colder plug the stock will work fine there is a rule of thumb on plugs every 75-100 HP increse go 1 step colder

    4306's will work fine on a stock turbo car, they are copper so he will have to change them every 3-9k but they are worth it. different rules apply to copper plugs.
