I also put a post up on neons.org and neoncanada.com and I haven't received any replies at all.

Thanks for the interest. If I can get about 5 people that are commited to the brackets then i'll go ahead and start making them.

Updated first post with pics.

What is the benefit of these over the 1st gen Mopar ones available for $13-$14 a piece versions? Not doggin' your pieces. I am curious because I am ordering them from Mopar but prefer to support Neon owners first. The benefit of these brackets is the fact that you can use factory end links with the...

I'll be interested when you'll put some pics installed. Do they brace on only one bolt of shocks? BTW, what's the price in canadian dollars? Thanks! Thanks for the interest. That price is US dollars. The price may vary depending on shipping costs but i'm hoping to sell them between 30 and 35. It wi...

The picture above will not wo...

Update Oct 20, 2008 - Sold out. Daaboots Rear Sway Bar Brackets I noticed that there are no rear sway bar adapter brackets that let you utilize the factory sway bar end-links when using a factory sway bar. You either need to piece something together using the Mopar brackets or buy an after market s...

Thanks everyone. I wouldn't mind getting a more polished look on the lip, but it took me 7 hours just to get it to the point they're at now. Maybe next summer i'll give 'em another treatment. The lips didn't have any curb rash, just the corrosion. Exel rims FTL Whats wrong with Exel?? Either way I g...

... good luck though

Looks like your HVAC turned out like mine... not very good . The rest looks good though. How'd you get the odometer blue?

Thanks. The weather is still bad here in Ottawa. Gonna wait a few more weeks before I put them on.

The rims are 17x7 and the tires are 215/45/17.

I bought some used Exel rims recently. The clear coat on the polished lip had flaked off and since the previous owner drove them in the winter, the lip was full of corrosion from the salt on the roads. Here are some before and after pics. http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m304/daaboots/car301.jpg h...

Those are pretty nice looking actually. Price is not too bad. Might pick up a set someday.

a whopping 136hp at the wheels. so for 300... you got aLOT of work ahead of you. now before you badmouth the hahn kit just keep in mind like i said that this is with a stock TB, stock intake, stock head, and stock pistons, at 8psi with an auto trans. Humm... i've been thinking about a turbo as well...

Are you confusing understeer with body roll?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Understeer

Ah ok *light turns on upstairs*

I was thinking the spindle was bolted to the knuckle but now i see that its actually all one part.

So does anyone know for sure if the SRT-4 spindle/knuckle and hub are the same as the Neon?

I thought for our cars you should run more negative camber in the front and less in the rear in order to reduce under-steer??

When you did your rear disc conversion, did you have to remove the hub from the spindle in order to install the backing plate and dust plate (assuming your using your stock knuckles)?? I was kinda under the impression that the spindle and hub would just unbolt but it looks like I cant get at the spi...

Any new info on this??

Thanks man, but credit goes to CA180 for that how-to.

Rear drums usually last a long time. My father put about 100K on his old Dodge Spirit before he had to replace his rear brakes.

I finally got my R/T side skirts painted. Was not the best paint job in the world... has some dust in the paint and you can still see some of the stone chips. http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m304/daaboots/CopyofP1060043.jpg http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m304/daaboots/car299.jpg The price was...

Well as soon as the temperature outside turns a bit warmer I'll be starting on my sway bar and rear SRT-4 disc brake conversion. Pic below is a 24mm front SRT-4 bar and a 19mm rear R/T bar. Didn't like the color of rust so I sanded them to the metal and painted them red. Oooooh... shiny. http://i107...

[quote="meathead"]they're fine now i think i may have just been a little paranoid. [\quote]

Don't feel bad... I went through the same thing with mine. Keep thinking the left rear was lower. Turned out to be OK though.

Glad to hear everyone is OK. Maybe you'll get lucky and will be able to get a SRT4 rear bumper out of the deal

Go all motor. Probably cheaper on gas and more reliable.

BMW's oil change interval is 15,000 miles, and it specifically says under the hood, "Use only Castrol Syntec oil." wow.. i've been using Castrol Syntec from day 1 and eveybody has always been saying bad things about it. Nice to hear that BMW actually recomends it. I change mine every 5000 KM (thats...
