Default Is Mopar Stage 1 Suspension for Real?
The Mopar website lists Stage 1 suspension as "Now in". Then it sends you to the pricing page which doesn't mention anything but Stage 2 coilover (currently available for SRT4 coming soon PT) and Stage 3 coilover (currently available for SRT4 coming soon PT).

What happened to Stage 1? They were supposedly going to sell Stage 1 springs and Stage 1 sway bars individually.

Anyone have any info on Stage 1 sway bars for the turbo?

Just wanted to get this post back up top for answers. I'm very interested as well. Stage 1 will only drop the car 25mm and stage 2 only 30mm, that's not very much. I was going to get stage 2 but am having second thoughts. I want to drop the car 1 1/2 inches in the front and 2 inches in the rear. It does not appear that the Mopar kits will do it. Recommendations for the best product other than Mopar???[:I]

RD CHILI:
If you want to lower your car and handle supreme buy KW coilover kit.It will lower rear-2+ inches. Front 3+ inches. Bought mine a year and a half ago. It is totally adjustable. Bought it from Moss Motors.Good Luck

I've been told by a pretty good source that the KW coilovers that they sell for the Neon and PT's are different valving and spring rates than the KW/Mopar staged parts. DCX worked with KW to get the ride/handling quality they desired. Just FYI.

extra zero. after looking at stage#1 and stage#2 of mopar/kw coilovers I'm thinking that a lowered car would have tendency to bottom out in bumps.Thats by looking at size of springs.My springs are size of stage#3. My gt handles extremely good.
Cruise On.
