Lowered with just eibach springs. pros or sports, IDK I just got them for 75bucks

Hows that for "stanced"
You're kidding right? I hope this was the pre-alignment printout...

Yeah pre align. I got it all green but the cambers still the same.

The rear camber isn't bad, but the fronts definitely need to be closer and more negative. If the rear are about -.7, the fronts should be around -1.5, for a sporty alignment.

akirony · Post by **akirony** » Mon Aug 15, 2011 1:45 pm

So I should put some camber bolts on order huh?

OB · Post by OB » Mon Aug 15, 2011 5:10 pm

I would slot the struts rather than use the undersized bolts, it's less likely to slip. Best option is camber plates.

akirony · Post by **akirony** » Mon Aug 15, 2011 6:05 pm

I was reading about that on neons.org. I should read up more on it.

Been a while.

Tokico HP shocks
Tein S-Tech springs
Hotchkis sways

Been this way for a couple years and I'm bored of it and can't afford to do anything to it. Doesn't help that I have a loud whine coming from the head so I can't drive it right now.

Eibach Sportline (trimmed about 2 inches off the front coils lol didn't make any difference)

Tokico Blue Struts

Stock R/T Sways with shortened Endlinks.

Poly Bushing Kit.

Today I swapped out the Megan's with H&R Limited Editions - beautiful springs that are discontinued. They really provide a great stance as well as a smooth, comfortable ride. I'm very impressed so far

Uhh ohh

everyone look out, Crystal finally got her coils!

LilSparkPlug · Post by **LilSparkPlug** » Thu Aug 25, 2011 2:40 pm

I bought them in July and installed them a few weeks ago with hand tools in my garage. All that's left is the alignment

UriahRR · Post by **UriahRR** » Thu Aug 25, 2011 3:55 pm

Alignment specs: -1.7 degrees front and -.04 degrees rear. Do it up and AutoX it hard Crystal

Also, what kind of springs did you have before? Only 3 coils? Ride like shit much?

I just got Charlotte aligned again yesterday. I love

my 1 year unlimited alignments! Best package deal I ever bought

The guys at the garage said to me yesterday "What the hell all have you done? You've had like 4 alignments in the past few months!" I said "oh...uhhh...lots of suspension work? I can't make up my mind..." LOL (i.e. I keep changing springs)

UriahRR wrote:Only 3 coils? Ride like shit much?

Yea...what springs are those? To be honest, they look like a stock spring painted blue lol

Did BC Racing provide a dyno graph? I don't think I've ever seen one for any Neon shock from anyone.

No, why do you ask? I've never heard of a manufacturer providing a graph standard with their coilovers.

Megan posts them on their site for all of their different models, although the scale they use sucks. I'm curious to see the damping curves.

ZOMG i can finally have something to say about suspension after
owning a neon for > 1 year!

i would like the rear end to sit lower like the front, but i'm satisfied..

the car is lowered on Mopar Springs

Going with what Mopar recommends which is -1.5 front and -.7 rear. I was supposed to align him this past Monday but the Hurricane had other ideas. They're finally done settling and the tires are rubbing :\ eep.

Springs were Mopar Stage 1 springs, they ride the best out of any aftermarket spring for the SRT-4.

Mopar Stage 1s

Stage 3

Bought them brand new from the dealer, once I realized my rear struts with <8k on them were toast I figured it was all or nothing.
