^^nice, I dont want to go that low:rolf but Im thinking maybe another 1/2 to 3/4 inch in the back... I dunno we will see what happens when we start dialing it in we took it straight off joels and bolted it up to mine and did not touch it.. then its off for an alignment.... Then back to the track with the new goodies:devil

Looks good. The Neon naturally has a stance with the back end a little higher than the front and for some reason they look funny when they are leveled out front an back IMO. I would keep it as is or bring all four down a little lower, but keeping the same rake.

Time for some bigger brakes. Or are you just hoping you will be fast enough for a shute soon?

Looks good though Ricky.

you dont buy coilovers just to drop it, if you want to simply lower the car you buy springs, coilovers are there for stiffer spring rates, adjusting camber, rebound, preload, etc, height adjustment is just the frosting on the cake, and yes, we never touched the height adjustment and my car had taller tires than his, and wider, so i would rub if i set it any lower

Looks really good... and yea looks like you could even go down a bot more if you want. I actually had mine a little lower (maybe a half inch or so) and could still get the 26s under there.

thanks on level ground in person it looks alot lower in the back, and Im leaning toward 26 inch slicks, but John at M&H told me stay with the 24.5's and if they are good for low 9's in a srt I think they can handle my car:rolf
