in order to do the big brake kit you need to upgrade to SRT front parts... I ran into problems with this that I'm still trying to solve, so hopefully light will shine on this. However, I can attest to the improved braking that I've gain from swaping to rear disc (SRT) as well as the Stainless steel brake lines... I don't know if you have rear disc or drum, but pretty much if you want BBK, you'll need to upgrade some parts to SRT.

Stock PT front brakes are so much easier to find then SRT. If you want a BBK, start there.

I've have run into problems just getting the hub/knuckle/spindle/steering rack/ and then the brakes... I think I might need the K-frame with lower control arms as well, but I haven't been able to find any definitive answers to this. (this is just for the front.)

Hansken_yo try going to a part store and looking at the struts for an SRT and a Neon side by side and see if the mounting holes are at the same angle. You may find the struts are a little different their, Hopefully the lower hole is further out or top hole closer to the strut tube. this would help your camber problem. The best fix my just be slotting your struts and be done with it. If you are not comfortable doing it yourself see if you can take it to a machine shop and have them do it. Then paint it for rust protection. top hole should get elongated inward.

. I have found that yes the control arms are different for the SRT but not sure how.

so should i do the pt cruiser swap .. what do i need/

I guess you would need the same parts listed above, but just from a PT cruiser.

My friend has a 00 Neon and he did a full srt-4 swap and all you need to do a bbk system are the parts from the front brake system of an srt in other words

SRT-4 Bearing Retainer
SRT-4 Hub
SRT-4 Knuckle
SRT-4 Wheel Bearing

so this might be a dumb question but wont changing my front hubs make it so my wheels wont fit anymore?

no, srt and neons have the same bolt pattern. You can run srt rims on a stock neon.

hansken_yo · Post by **hansken_yo** » Mon Apr 23, 2007 6:13 pm

you can run the SRT wheels on stock neons, but if you put the big brake kit on you will not be able to run the stock neon rims (not enough room to clear the calipers)

um well i got 18" volk gtc multi peice wheels on my 00 neon now. if i do this 03 srt4 front brake swap... with my volks fit?

hansken_yo · Post by **hansken_yo** » Mon Apr 23, 2007 6:38 pm

It should work, unless the offsets cause rubbing.

lexeon · Post by **lexeon** » Tue Apr 24, 2007 5:09 pm
