You could buy a rear sway Bay and spring from over the top performance (ottp) and you can buy the konis for the rear only from ottp

Any pros and cons to the switch? And if i didnt already say it im sorry for asking so many questions. But sometimes its hard to find some info and its just nice to hear someones actual current opinion. I have hillbilly rigged the **** outa things on my neon over the years but i am refusing to do so on the cobalt. I want to do things right with this car and im very unfamiliar with the ""right"" way. Lol
I think that's more of a personal opinion... With the koni's you'll still have a ride similar to stock, coils would be a bit harsher of a ride I think. Performance wise I'm not sure.... But most of the hardcore autocross guys will tell you that Koni yellows + Powell springs are the go to, I'm going with Ottp because they are on sale and they will give me more of a drop than powells xyz's, can't really comment on how they handle just yet though

I have Ottp springs. They ride pretty good. As you would expected with a lowered spring on shitty roads they don't feel that great but that's with pretty much all of them. The back also took longer to settle than the front when I first put them on just in case you're worried when the back still looks jacked up

So thanks.
Now.
Maybe dumb.
But now i have some more technical questions.
Believe me i did try searching i see people have done this, but no in depth topics. And everything else is kits.
What are the key differences between the 2.0 and 2.4 head and block? Are they interchangeable?
I know that swap in a neon is quite potent
Basically im asking,
What would be required to put a 2.4 in my stock ss/sc?
