Looks good sir,

Its probably one of the next things on your list, but you thinking about lowering the car a bit? A mild drop should make the car look killer.

someone else was telling me to use those.

haven't found a pic of any 2GN's on here with them.

Would love to see how low it takes it. It's either that, or buy some lowering springs off of Ebay. Although, I'd much rather take some from another Neon. There's plenty of 1GN's at the scrapyard around here

its supposed to be like a 2in drop and ride nice

dvon17 · Post by **dvon17** » Fri Jun 01, 2012 3:54 am

yea, but they blow the struts fast as hell... right?

chris1211 · Post by **chris1211** » Fri Jun 01, 2012 4:09 am

thats only if you get really worn ones i heard

dvon17 · Post by **dvon17** » Fri Jun 01, 2012 4:30 am

oh ok. I was thinking of getting a set of 1GN springs, and another set of 2GN struts lol. Using THOSE two together...just in case.

but for the money I'd spend on all of that together, I could just buy some lowering springs off Ebay lol

looks good brother

Iirc you can actually just bolt up fully assembled 1gn struts and springs. Keep in mind that a 2gn weighs more than a 1gn so ride will be nice-ish due to the added weight but will definitely sit within the 2" drop range. Another member can verify that for you but, I believe I am correct. Either way, nice ride bro

chris1211 · Post by **chris1211** » Fri Jun 01, 2012 11:08 am

hmmm i was told that the stock 1st gn struts wont bolt up

r/tguy02 · Post by **r/tguy02** » Fri Jun 01, 2012 12:36 pm

they wont without 1gn knuckles

dvon17 · Post by **dvon17** » Fri Jun 01, 2012 3:15 pm

So, 1st gen knuckles, axles, and struts and springs are what we need? Jeez

INVUJerry · Post by **INVUJerry** » Fri Jun 01, 2012 3:41 pm

Or take your knuckles off and get them taken in .030" on each side of the strut mounting point, which is what I would do.

dvon17 · Post by **dvon17** » Fri Jun 01, 2012 3:45 pm

Well, I don't have the means to do all of that lol. Nor do I even know what you're talking about. I'm kinda still learning stuff. I feel like such a noob
