    I'm riding on Koni Struts with Mopar Front Springs and Hotchkis Rear Springs...Set up is pretty much perfect (IMO)...but don't think you'll buy 2 sets of springs

    Pretty much my set up has the 'softest' springs for the front and the 'stiffest' springs in the rear.

    :grin:

    Thanks...ya, figured with the 18's, it'll fill up the gap a lil bit more...just have to paint the rims, kinda gettin tired of the silver, plus the curb rash is annoying.

    Thanks Kev. If you want...unless you find someone else to do them, I'll help you out. :thumb2:

    Very clean and a nice stable drop. Nothing too big.

    Tokico springs?

    Link?

    Didn't know Tokico made lwoering springs for the SRT-4.

    I had a Tokico HP Blues with Tokico lowering springs on my 01 Neon. 1.4'' all around. Great ride.

    Those rims I would go graphite, gunmetal, or black. They sell the paint at Discount. Make sure you wet sand the rims and put a few coats on the rims then clear. Should be good then!

    From what I've heard you can screw in a spark plug or even get another O2 sensor to put there. If anything go to an exhaust shop, they might even have a plug of some sort.
