If you are going to go through the hassle of putting LCA bushings on I would go with some better ones like the Prothane ones modern sells. They aren't too expensive.

I totally misunderstood, I thought you were getting the LCA bushings off a car in a junk yard. I was like

You are getting the trunk carpet. Ahhh I see.

Very nice, love the engine bay and the interior. Querstion, where did you get that trunk pad? Id love to have one.

Speeder · Post by **Speeder** » Sun Apr 12, 2009 10:08 pm

i found it at the junkyard

mopar4life · Post by **mopar4life** » Sun Apr 12, 2009 10:12 pm

Hmmm, time to search the junkyards! I just cant stand the way the bare trunk looks. Looks cheap. I know its a Neon but still....

Nice work so far. I think you'll like the tires. I put a set on my car a few months ago and they've been great for me. Low noise and fantastic grip. I haven't been able to spin them even when raining, which was more than I could say for the other two sets that have been on the car.

Speeder · Post by **Speeder** » Sun Apr 12, 2009 10:24 pm

i never really care if i ever got one but when i open the trunk of that neon i was like " i want this NOW" and it clean up the trunk area so much
dodge should have put them on all neons

Speeder · Post by **Speeder** » Wed Apr 22, 2009 8:02 pm

Tam · Post by **Tam** » Wed Apr 22, 2009 10:56 pm

Speeder · Post by **Speeder** » Sat Apr 25, 2009 5:22 pm

The trunk carpet really does clean it up alot! Nice find. Cant wait to see the car sitting lower.

ZeroChad · Post by **ZeroChad** » Sun Apr 26, 2009 5:55 pm

Noice! I bought the same rotors, how do you like them?

Speeder · Post by **Speeder** » Sun Apr 26, 2009 9:30 pm

i love them..........
they are so much better than the stock ones for sure......
but sometimes i can here them when i'm driving and it drives me up the wall but i thinks its because i still have stock rims on and there is not enough air hitting them as say 5-spoke rims do i guess but they do one hell of a job from stopping from 75 to 0

Speeder · Post by **Speeder** » Thu Apr 30, 2009 3:22 pm

ok its offical the car getting dropped on may 10th
also when to the dealer to get more parts....

the bolts to hold the brackets to the frame
and something else that will make my car stand out of all the other neon in my area...

Speeder · Post by **Speeder** » Mon May 04, 2009 4:12 pm

Tam · Post by **Tam** » Mon May 04, 2009 5:08 pm
