Default Rear lowering kit?

Anybody know where I can find a kit to lower just the back?I was looking at the Eibach kit that lowers front & back and I can get it for farely cheap through work(Advance) but it just lowers it way to much and my front bumper scrapes the bumper protector at times now with the stock height.I'm just want to level the car out.

I agree with you. I did find rears only, but wasn't much cheaper than a full set - I bought the set and just did the rears.
Real easy and actually helps raise the front a tiny bit.
It gets rid of the "butt in the air look" and lessens the gap in the rear wheel well.
I wouldn't drop more than 2" - if you stay under 2", ride stays fine.

Thanks for the advice man.I wonder what they were thinking when they designed the suspension for the PT's.Trucks only have that "raked" stance because they can tow stuff.Did Chrysler think we were gonna tow our boats with our PT's?lol

dun dada daaaa
yes they did...even tho they are the same platform as the neon pt cruisers are somehow classified in some situations as SUV's..mostly when it comes to looking up gas mileage and well looking up information in computerized information systems.....and these cars with the height in the rear can definatly haul some weight...but like all you i dont like it either haha so im throwin bags at it
