cool, so what did you end up doing?

perhaps in need of an altitude adjustment.

I had to grind down the strut perch a bit to make it flat. If you look at yours you will see a bumb, for no aparent reason, on the bottom of the spring perch. The front rubbed alos but all I did there was hit the perch one time with a hammer and it fit..

BFH.......just like duct tape......they work wonders

what about the speedometer....how off do you think it is?

Not really sure.... I know there is a way to figure it out.. Thought I saw it on the .org... I can tell you this much.. Went to the track over the weekend and I am as slow as I was when the car was stock... Nothing a little NAAWWWSSS couldn't take care of...

nice man, looks great. Although i already have spacers, is there a pic of one of your perches somewhere?

WOW! looks really good, I bet it goes good with the stripes and the key mark. JK. I saw it today on my way to AIX, looked really sweet.

I will see if I can take a good pic of the perches today.. If not I will post them up some time this week.. Hey Kevo, where did you get your spacers from? I have been to almost every tire place here to include discount tire and they don't sell any.. Went to Pep Boys and they had some but they were the wrong size. looked like they belong on a SUV or something..

napa has some universal ones. Modern performance sells some specifically for the neon in all major sizes for about$9.00 a pop and up depending on size. Comes out to about $41 after shipping, roughly $12.00 more than getting them at the store but great when you just want a tiny bit of space. Places like napa usually only have 1/4" spacers.

Thanks for the compliments guys. Sweet.. I will look them up at both places.. Just for peace of mind. Even though they are not rubbing, they are just too close for my taste.. At least for now, till I get new tires.. Its funny how tall the car sits now.. Didn't expect that much of a lift.. When I went to the track the other night I was able to test them out, god do these things grip... I was taking sharp ass turns with out sliding at 40 to 50 mph.. Might stay with the SRT tires but lower profile..

get some srt springs

did you get those from an '03 srt or an '04 and up? the BFGoodrich KDW tires on the '04+ are a definite step up from the (i believe) michelins that were on the '03

DjTransifi · Post by **DjTransifi** » Tue Jun 07, 2005 3:22 pm

Linkinevo might know the answer to that... He knew the guy that sold them to me.. They go for 125 at tirerack.com. Well worth the money if you ask me.. I can slip out of my seat before the car even thinks of skidding. That guy's SRT is sick though.. Makes me want to trade mine in.. Insurance, Insurance.. Not willing to pay more on insurance than my car payment, and I'm 28.. I still pay a shit load for full coverage with a clean driving history..

It was an 04, but I thought all SRT's had the BFGs

eVilcreations · Post by **eVilcreations** » Tue Jun 07, 2005 3:32 pm

03 SRT-4's had the Michelin Pilot Sports......

The tires on the 04-05's are nice and i love the tread pattern. I still love my toyo's though

Car looks good btw all u need to do now is just lower it and u should eb set up. The speedo shouldn't be off by much if any at all. Nice car man...
