    Les, don't touch that suspension. That's an ACR. The suspension is already set up. Lowering it will only make it handle worse. You lower a regular SRT. You don't lower an ACR. The car looks good the way it is and you don't need anyone who drives a car with known CV axle issues (after lowering, of course) telling you to lower it to please them.

    K series 626. That's right. It's got a K in it.

    the only thing different in acr suspension is adjustable shocks. lower the car for the love of god, it will handle fine. if you can afford it you can pick up a used set of BC coilovers for around 600 bucks. if you can afford those go with the eibachs springs. if you ever need any advice on the car just shoot me a PM. i know these cars better than my ballsack....

    Why would you ever buy anyone's used coilovers? I think that's about the same and buying someone's used underwear. Most of the time (unless it was never installed) the shock absorbers are worn out on those used coil overs and would be a waste of money. And besides, coilovers on a street car is a waste of money unless you actually autoX the car. Which means setting up the suspension properly means taking it to a shop that would specialize in 4 corner balancing with the driver in it. Just installing specialty parts just for "looks" is the worst thing you can do to your car/wallet. Just plain stupid.

    cause it saves money, i didnt mean buy a set that have been on a car for 80k miles, you can find good deals on coilovers that people bought 2 months ago and now are trading their car in. they dont go out with in two months! i wouldnt own a SRT4 again without coilovers and its not for the looks. these cars with their iron block and raked stance tend to have the ass end slide around on you, the weight distribution HORRIBLE and with springs they still have that raked stance. i cant tell you how many people have wreaked their cars(including me) with the rear sliding around, and thats something very difficult to correct. daily driving you can even the car out, IF you autoX you have a better set-up suspension, IF you drag race you can jack the rear back up to put more weight on the front for better traction. not stupid at all, actually very smart



    id also suggest the hotchkis sway bars they help alot with the SRT-4.

    Actually, it's all in the suspension tuning. SRT4's from the factory have the same weight distribution as the first gen Neons and the 3rd gen integra's. They also have more toe out in the rear which is good for getting in and out of corners faster. Having toe in would help in straight line stabilty and kinda numbs up the handling a bit but it not quite at the limit of adhesion to the point that it's gonna come around. On a FWD vehicle with a good set of tires at all 4 corners, it's impossible for the rear end to come out unless you do 2 things..... lifting off the throttle while hard into it or touching the brakes.
