One question though...is it just me, or is your drivers side wheel pushed forward in the opening?

Image

As opposed to this...

Yea I deff see what ur talkin about but it
Could b the fact that the fender flare makes it look like it's in a different spot.

Hmm I thought the later arms from modern had better Bushings?? That's why they sold em...

Still on the fence about the DCR arms...Let me know how they work out for you...especially noise wise!!!

Also on top of the ?? about the modern lateral arms...did you get the ss brake lines from them as well....if so I assume you got the srt ones...How did they fit with the neon front brakes..that is if you are running them and not srt fronts...thanks man and looks good!!!

I did not get the ss brake lines from modern I got them from eBay and they fit perfect. Got all 4 for less then 100$.
And yes the brake lines I got are for an srt but they will fit ne neon the brake line bolt is the same on all calipers...

so i know this has ben asked before but any plans for wider wheels??

i mean if you get a set of wider wheels to sit just flush with your fender flares it would set this car off so bad you have no idea

Posted: Fri Apr 29, 2011 3:04 pm
by sxxxt
yea i plan to eventually get new wheels but what im gonna do with these wheels is get them powdercoated black and i think that will change the whole look of the car...

Posted: Fri Apr 29, 2011 3:18 pm
by srtjesse
sweet and these wheels look good its just that since the wheels look too sunk in cause of the fenders.. or get some big adapters to push them out
