your new suspension setup makes my ACR with lowering springs look like a 4X4.
the 2 ACRs must meet soon for height comparison purposes .

can u turn all the way with the fender over the front wheel like that???

Kevin_GP · Post by **Kevin_GP** » Tue Mar 15, 2005 8:38 pm

The front fender isnt a problem I can go lock to lock without rubbing, just with the NEX coilovers you can have as much suspension travel as you want, the problem is you loose the bump stops and the tire hits the inside of the fender (that bump thing on top of the inside of the wheel well). I have some more adjusting to do, im probally gonna raise it up alittle bit. And Eddie I would like to meet, I want to see how low it is next to yours and Louies and a stock neon

Its a bit rougher than stock ACR struts set on stiff, but it handles amazing.

Hmmm... its too low for my taste... i don't like the rear wheel actually in the wheel well... I am looking to get some coil-overs... the Nex are hott and i know the guy that just did the group buy on the nationals srt site... i might just go with stage 3 coil-overs or the Tein SS... i don't konw... love the wheels thou!

so are those the 336f/225r spring rates? or the unrevised stiffer ones? How was installation?

Kevin_GP · Post by **Kevin_GP** » Fri Mar 18, 2005 6:49 am

Stiff ones, but to be honest I wouldnt go this low with softer springs due to things botteming out. I am going to raise the back up alittle bit. Installiations the same as with any lowering spring. Just a pain in the ass to get off the bolts, then get off the top mounts, but when you get to the part of reassembly everything just slides right in.

you don't by any chance have a pic of what they look like not installed do you? or a link to their website?

psft...

he's got more suspension travel than he knows what to do with..

true coilover suspension > you

Kevin_GP · Post by **Kevin_GP** » Wed Mar 23, 2005 7:09 pm

Well i rolled my rear fenders alittle bit, so the back no longer rubs. The only problem i have now is the front tires hitting that bump thing inside the wheel well, is there any problems that will arise if i go at that with a hammer? The tire only bottem outs on really big bumps but id still like alittle more clearence. If not then im going to raise the front up alittle more. Ill take better pics when it stops raining.

Louie · Post by **Louie** » Wed Mar 23, 2005 11:08 pm

i say bend it out of the way. .grind it. .cut it. ..lol

i dont think its part of anything important.

The front of my car is just as low as yours, and mine doesn't rub on anything.

Are you sure?? Theres not much room for travel in there before the tire hits the iside of the wheel well. I dont have a gap on mine at all in the front...

thank you

did they come with all 4 or did you have to buy them two at a time. not trying to sound like an idiot but the pic only show's two. also those are for the srt-4 is that what you put on your neon or do they make them for the regular neon.

thanks again

shaneb.

Kevin_GP · Post by **Kevin_GP** » Fri Mar 25, 2005 12:03 pm

Yes they come with all 4, and the ones for the srt 4 fit any 2000 and up neon.

shane · Post by **shane** » Fri Mar 25, 2005 12:05 pm

thanks
