Originally on stock SRT springs w/ stock SRT struts with one regular Neon strut and spring:

Before on 1st gen R/T springs w/ stock SRT struts and one regular Neon strut and spring(ghetto y0):

NOW

BC Inverted Coilovers lowered to 1 finger gap. Low enough that without a few boards at the end of the driveway, I can't get out without my pinch welds or exhaust scraping the driveway

OMG! that looks dope!

I can't believe you don't swap the wheels back and forth between your 2 cars like my Dad does, lets see how it looks with the SSRs!

damn jason both of your 2gns are killer

Not a fan of 2gn but i like both of yours.

Thanks guys

Vin... I'm actually planning on doing that to see what they look like and see how well they fit since the SRT offset is different from the Neon. The wheels i'm looking at for it are 17x8 w/ 35mm offset and the stock SRT wheels are 45mm. meaning they'll stick out a little over 1.25" more than stock. I just want to see where that will put me for the fender as it will probably stick out and not look right :-/ But yeah... I'm debating on swapping them over for this weekend since we have an SRT meet here at Hooters on Sunday.

Camera... it's a little outdated since the newer models are out now but it's a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ20

(I still rock the 2MP Kodak you guys were calling ghetto 2 years ago so don't feel bad

)

I didn't know SRTs used a different offset then regular 2nd gens. Different knuckles/hubs F and R?

Post by **Diablo0** » Sat May 19, 2007 2:42 am

Yeah the SRT knuckles are different in the front as the brake setups are completely different. The rear spindles are almost the same as the R/T and ACR spindles but the tension strut bolt point at the bottom is just a little different to allow more clearance by the wheel. Brake setup is the same, calipers are the same, rotors are a tad thicker but overall it's identical. Front is way different though for brake setups...

I heart your Neons. Both of them are so clean and the white one looks so good dropped.

Poster children for the perfect 2gn R/Ts.

Bah... you're just saying that

I'd like to get it looking sorta like this on SSR Type-C RS wheels...

^^^^ hott as hell!!!

I'd lay off the darkening of the headlights though that throws it off i think.

Post by **Diablo0** » Mon May 21, 2007 6:49 pm

I think I made it a little too dark

They'll be these...

So you can't hardly see the racoon style but darkens up the housing a little bit.

Since the Type-C's come in two different colors (Black and Gold)... I made another chop

Lackof · Post by **Lackof** » Mon May 21, 2007 10:54 pm

na stick with the black or gunmetal w/e they are.

The gold just doesn't seem to flow and jsut draws a lot of attention to the wheels.
Specially the red calipers don't go with it. IMO.
