I really want to go lower.

I agree, I want to go lower too. I was playing volleyball one time and the ball went out into the parking lot and rolled under my rear bumper. When I went to fetch it...I was like

lol

Car looks good from that view though. It's really clean and shiny.

go so low that u cant even clear an ant.

in all seriousness just go lower then.

shoo i think everyone wants to go lower. im going lower too. about an .5 inch in the front and 1.5 in the rear.

It's just the money that's holding me back. If I go lower, it's gonna cost at least $900. I don't wanna go cheaper than Megan coilovers.

True. My tires have a few months left on them, but I'm hoping to get some tires that grip better than the ones I have now.

I think it looks good the way it is. I for one...don't want to go lower...

Cabbs · Post by **Cabbs** » Wed Jul 15, 2009 5:12 pm

Thanks LilSparkPlug. I just love the look when there is no wheel gap or slightly tucking. My college wouldn't agree though, the speed bumps there suck.

Most roads wouldn't agree and your front bumper would hate you.

Cabbs · Post by **Cabbs** » Wed Jul 15, 2009 6:11 pm

Definitely true. Probably won't happen though, I keep getting the RWD itch.

Unless you live in a state that doesn't get pot holes and roads are straight true like glass or you are going to trailer it every where keep it like it is. Trust me I want to go lower on my 1st gen but the roads in MD while better then most states is very unkind to aggressively lowered cars and we won't talk about residential streets with speed humps and steep driveway transitions

Life is so unfair.

I guess it's good in a way, I shouldn't be spending the money.

Your car looks good how it is, maybe try and find some new wheels that could be a little bigger to give it that "tuck" look.

You can go as low as you want around here in Maryland (well, around me) we use the tax money in a different way... it goes..

1. Highways
2. Streets
3. back roads
and to skip down the list..
295. Public Schools

I love Maryland...

true true i guess go with just bigger tires for now. thats what im doing when i get my new tires. im getting bigger to give me that more tucked inside the fender look.

Cabbs · Post by **Cabbs** » Wed Jul 15, 2009 7:44 pm

The biggest I would go would be 16's. 17's look weird if you're stock on the outside like me.

arent u already lowered ? then no it wouldnt. u just gotta pick the rite style of rims and they wont look bad at all. then wrap them around a 215/45 tire and ur set.

You work at Mickey D's?

Seen Neons with 17's lowered, I don't like them.

McDonald's is right next door to my work, I just park there a lot lol. I work at a surplus store.

Good deal, I was hoping that was the case!

Cabbs · Post by **Cabbs** » Thu Jul 16, 2009 2:47 pm

I think 17's look awkward on Neon's. 16's look better IMO, Funnyneon's car is a good example

OB · Post by OB » Thu Jul 16, 2009 2:58 pm

I agree about the 16's, to an extent. I think 17's would look way better on our cars in a lower offset. Dish with stretched tires and rolled fenders. No one has done it and I think it would just look plain raw. Flush FTW.

Cabbs · Post by **Cabbs** » Thu Jul 16, 2009 3:34 pm

How low of an offset would our cars be able to take?

Post by **Diablo0** » Thu Jul 16, 2009 3:43 pm

Depends on the width of the wheel.

Cabbs · Post by **Cabbs** » Thu Jul 16, 2009 3:44 pm

For example, how about a 7.5" wide wheel?

INVUJerry · Post by **INVUJerry** » Thu Jul 16, 2009 3:45 pm

If someone would make them, I think a 17x8 with a 20 offset and lots of camber would fit. I've seen a 15x8 (Kosei K1) with a 22 offset, and 2.5 degrees of camber on a 1gn. It looked really good.

OB · Post by OB » Thu Jul 16, 2009 4:56 pm

There are tons of variables. Best way to know is to go out and measure, then calculate, then remeasure. Having coilovers will get you quite a bit of extra space. The key would be finding a way to clear the tension struts in the back, and rolling and/or flaring the fenders. Dish isn't even as important as the wheel being flush IMO. So a +25 or +20 7" wheel with about a 195 tire on it would probably look sick. Or an 8" with a 205. Could prob get away with leaving the fenders alone if you ran enough camber too (~3-4 degrees). I plan on attempting a setup like this sometime soon, but it wouldn't be my daily setup for obvious reasons. More of a cool weekend/show setup.
