215/225

to the guys running these size of tires, but only in 16's..how do you like it? I just have an sxt...so will i suffer power loss from the wider tire? just curious..im spinning my 205's in tight high speed corners..i dont want that :)

thanks,
David

i actually dont much like em..they grip alright, but they are noisy in the corners..not noisy like you dont have confidence in them, they just squeal too much for me...i need a wider tire though..i can still break traction at 50-55 in a corner...i need something that just grips harder

If you want that front gap gone, DO NOT go with the srt springs..you wont see any difference...great springs if you want a sleeper with some performance, but not for what you want.

I like the idea of getting the srt parts because they are CHEAP, but you get a HUGE ride improvement..the car looks stock and the mustang owner,vette owner(that cant drive well) will be wondering why they cant shake you through the corners(straights are a different story) who says you need to be sla...

as it is right now, im still spinning at 50 when cornering hard...i have the srt springs and 205s on it..but it still spins..im five seconds faster through this set of corners that i do..just from the spring upgrades... if i do sways, strut bars and the stainless brake lines/better pads..i could pro...

how much better?

besides the srt4 having different springs,struts,sway bars what makes it handle better than a stock neon? is the steering rack geared tighter? I know it would be faster because it can power out of corners, but for pure handling what else is better about the 4..

thanks,

david

i know i could get some better struts and some good springs, but i think i want to just upgrade a little bit.. I like the idea of having a basically stock car and keeping up with the true sports car (even if they cant drive their car all that well) for instance...ive kept up with a lowered gsr and a...

im definately gonna have to drop the car now...the tires grip to the point where the tires turn but its throwing the weight of the car..i actually got the tires to squeel because of this..if the car was lower and i could get rid of the body roll some, then i really think these would be some good tir...
