Can we just use base neon struts and accept a half an inch lowering?

You'd need smaller diameter tires to make it work....hence why the ACR had the smaller 16" wheel/tire package

I'll check with the guy that's going to put them on for me, seems like he had to buy the bearing things or something last time from junkyard I think, will check with him before I order!!

You'll want new strut bearings (for the front):

Mopar OEM Front Rotator Bearing, 00-05 Neon / 01-10 PT Cruiser

OEM Mopar Front strut rotation bearing. This is the unit directly under your front strut mount. Over time the nylon bearing can crack or fatigue leading to some unpleasant noises coming from your front suspension. These are non directional so one will work on either side. Be sure to order two if...

www.modernperformance.com

If the strut mounts were replaced last time with the Racelands.....you should be okay reusing them. But I'd, personally, replace the mounts too with your new struts so you can only do it once & it'll be good for a long time.

Good thing I'm rocking 16's if I ever need to resort to this.

well, I "pulled the trigger" and ordered the struts from Modern Performance, shpg and hdlg kind of pricey 91.43 but they are big and bulky, and going from Tx to the extreme N E part of Tn,,, BUT at least I didn't have to pay Tn's ridiculous 9.75% sales tax, so that saved me about 45 bucks, at least we don't have a state income tax!!! Once I get them put on I will let you fellers know how they ride, Thanks guys for all the help, from an old timer!!!

Okay, that's insane for the shipping & handling!
(mine was free as I spent over over their minimum of $950 for free shipping)

But they don't charge sales tax is a plus

I'm sure there I'd still shipping on large expensive items like cf hoods, no?

I'm not sure.
If you buy their full exhaust, it ships for free for example though.

Just checking a hood....they want $255 for shipping. So obviously something big has it's limits.

My struts came in one (separate) box and it wasn't that big.
TN to TX seems pretty high @ $91 though, but their shipping charges are usually fair/not too bad.
