Is there a fully adjustable suspension on the market that is something like computer controlled adjustable ride height from inside the car?
If not,would there be a good suspension upgrade that would give me a decent ride without being overly harsh?
Also, I remember from school being told about spring and swaybar combinations. There is soft spring,stiff swaybar and then there is soft swaybar and stiff spring. Can someone tell me which would be best for street use?

The ACR suspension rides pretty good, has adjustable dampening, and it not computer controlled.
It will bolt right in.

Solid rear axle should add improve your ride quality. Most turbo cars with rear disc have tem. You have to feel behind the backing plate to tell if the bar is hollow or solid.
88+ shelby springs are a cheap ride enhancer.
Front shelby sway car is ideal. 1 1/4

Thanks a lot for the link. Is there an IRS kit for the neon?

^^ That doesnt have anything to do with a neon, now if we were talking about a shodow or daytona, that would make more sense. lol Really, unless you are planning to spend $1500+ on sruts and springs, the stock ACR setup is fine. I have a set of adjustable konis and acr springs i would sell for $400(konis are about $850 new, and the springs are about $120 new). With those and a slightly bigger rear swaybar that would really be all you would need.

i have an 89 lesabre limited 4 door with lesabre t-type sway bars (1-1/4" front, 3/4" rear) and i like it with the standard springs (instead of the stiffer t type springs). the car still rides very plush which is good with the ladies, but will handle well when i feel the need to push the limits. i always look at sway bar size first when it comes to a upgrading road car chassis. my k wagon will get the full shelby/cs treatment along w/ poly everything if you know what i mean!
