I was thinking something along the lines of Subaru Legacy Sedan. It looks higher with inclreased ground clearance. Not 4X4 high but a bit higher with larger wheels and it may actually look ok.


I lowered it 2 weeks ago and i am very happy with it. I got to take some photos of the drop.

FYI your current springs are 140F/110R and with the SRT springs you go up to 175F/125R and that itself is a very nice improvement. They are linear and designed for a neon so your car will have much improved handling and a .5 in lower ride. SOmetimes that is all you need to get the agressive appearan...

Actually going from stock 140/110 to the SRT's 175/125 was a hell of an improvement. My car now feels as if it was on rails. The drop is very nice since the 4X4 look is now gone. It looks good with a slight hint of agressive stance and i love it. In my books it was worth every penny. The over ride q...

Well actually the more i look at it the better it looks and by the way the back end has come down quite a bit since instalation and its now sitting very even. Havent measured again but 2 days after i put them on the ride was .25" all the way around.

That is why i still believe that the factory set up is a very well though out set up where you have two chambers that help out with noise cancelation and filtration of air. I drove on stock air filter for 20000 and i never saw it dirty. every oil change i took it out and shook it sometimes even blew...

I would strongly recomend SRT Springs if you want even much stiffer but not harsh ride. They are very cheap just check out the SRTforums.

You can use your stock struts the car will be slightly lower and even front/rear

K&N Filters = Bad filtration.

Well this weekend i was looking at my engine and i decided to modify it even more by hiding the intake inside the stock air box. To my surprise after taking the intake off i found small droplets of water on the inside of the pipe as well as some extreemly fine sand particles stuck to both the ruber ...

Well measured again today and i am down to 2.5 in all around from 2.75. That was a surprise.

The car rides as if it was on rails. Love it its just the way i wanted it. THe ride is still rather smooth but stiff.

:( No drop for me there. After installing the struts in my dad's shop ~3hrs with all sorts of tools i came to the conclusion that it was all for nothing. I am up by a .25 in the front and exactly where i started in the rear so no drop for me there. The SRT springs were brand new and ~1.5 in shorter ...

I am currently riding on 205/55/16 and i mean they are just great much of the soft ride is still there while stability has increased and it stops nicer. I was planning to do 215/50/16 but that will be some time far into the future. My goal with those springs was mainly to even the car out because it...

What are your first driving impressions with those new springs, i know you said they were just right but i want more. You can get the crash bolts install one of them per strut and dial in 1° of camber to each wheel and this will help you a bit with cornering. I drove my car through an AutoX course a...

You dont need an alignment so i suggest dont waste the money.

The Camber on our cars is non adjustable so if you didnt tuch anything else you are ok. the result may have been ~.5° off if even so.

I Used a fork to get them out

Needles are magnetized and dont move easy at all. so you shouldnt worry too much.

after wards if you want to be 100 sure put the cluster on withought the glass and start the car. Then put the needles on to where they were pointint last.

I think that you have to remove the needles in order to install the gauges and then you dont press the needles all the way in and it will work just fine.

Mine were the same way and as of today i havent yet had any problems with them.

IMO SRT Springs will stiffen the suspension and the handling of the car in general while dropping it a tiny bit and sometimes this tiny bit is what sets a car appart form all the rest. I only have 2.25 and 2.5in to work with before the tires kiss the fenders so i cant do a 1.5 or even 2 inch drop be...

Just an idea. Try to do a PS where you paint the wheels in the color of the car with the silver lip still on there. Then even get some of the brake parts painted in the same fassion.
