Check the part numbers on the rack and the springs, they will be stickers
on there, your car is new enough that they are still readable, I could read
my springs off my 96.
The should say SDE on them. Or even SDK same springs..if they say SDC they
are the 140 fronts, rears are the same. You will not notice 10 lbs/in tho.

They are spring height not lbs/in rate. they are still 150/120 just their
free length is longer or shorter so all neons have the same ride level /
ground clearance.

You can with the SAME part number, no you cant buy the mopar ones in that
rate which are the shortest free height available.
