no acr's were only available to people who had a scca license to race.. they came with no radio or a/c koni adjustables and no radio..... i think they wernt available for public joe shmo sale till 98..... acr's came with 5 lug in ever yr too.... th 94 early 95 model yr cae with 4lug wheels.. in 95 they went to all 5 lug.. upgrade ur fronts to a good rotor and good pads and to good shoes in the front and youll have no worries... but a rear disk setup from a 5 lug might work on their and then use a set of front disk breaks for the rear.... that mite do it for you...

 

When the Neon was introduced in 1994, Chrysler decided for some fortunate reason to make a splash in SCCA racing and autocross. The Neon ACR was developed as a race-ready (just add rollcage), low cost machine, using as few special parts as possible. So that the first production run would wind up on the track, not the street, buyers were required to hold an SCCA membership. This original '1994-1/2' batch consisted of 182 SOHC-powered ACR sedans. Chrysler also sweetened the pot with substantial contingency money for ACR racers.
The original ACR was built on the Base Sedan, and the only factory option was the rear defroster. A/C and radio were not available, nor were the rest of the luxury or convenience options. In keeping with its mission, the ACR has never been available with an automatic transmission or antilock brakes. After the initial production run, the ACR package (also known as the Competition Group) joined the regular lineup, so A/C and radio became options. Non-SCCA folks were allowed to join the fun, as well.

ACRs have several distinguishing features. Foremost is the SDK (Competition) suspension with front and rear swaybars and very stiff struts, to bring handling up to racetrack strength. The steering ratio is quicker than standard, and brakes are four-wheel disc. In early 1995, ACR construction changed to include hubs 10mm thick (compared to the stock 8mm) to accommodate road racing stresses. The manual transmission has both a lower final drive ratio and a lower fifth gear for better acceleration. All ACRs get the oversized radiator from the air conditioned car. All ACR Sedans have the SOHC engine; all Coupes get the DOHC. These engine choices have never varied throughout the life of the ACR, to avoid reclassification for SCCA road racing use.
Most ACRs were built on the Base chassis, to take advantage of the weight savings of minimal insulation or luxury options. The ACR Coupe started production in the '95 m/y using the Highline chassis (see the Base model history), then changed to the Base Coupe for '96 and '97 m/ys. All '98 and the few '99 m/y ACRs (Sedan and Coupe) use the Highline chassis, since the Base car was discontinued. Outside, the ACR has the Sport front fascia with empty foglight holes. Side moldings were not available from the factory, but sometimes added at the dealer. The interior was originally Base or Highline style (depending on the chassis); in the '96 m/y, the ANC option added a leather-wrapped shifter and steering wheel, as well as the Sport seats (with better lateral support) and Flash upholstery. ANC is now the standard interior since the Base car was discontinued in the '98 m/y.

 

That is new. Makes sense. Neons are pretty serious machines. Cannot have just anyone out the tearing up the streets!

 

And they didn't come with Koni's in 95, they were called Arvins. Koni's weren't introduced on the neon until '97.

 

calm down das we dont all know everything or we wouldnt need a forum i like the idea for rear dick brakes and jus get a set of front rotors for the rear sounds like a plan will start in early april prepare for build thread and pics

 

right but what i was getting at the inital model yr 95 was not available to the public at that time...and only came in 5 lug...and yes ur right i totally forgot about the arvins..... never owned a acr wasnt my style.. lol i like the funcional of fog lamps.... although i did own a nyg acr for all of like 3 weeks.

I did it, it's not that hard, and I used the factory switch as well as adding being able to have them on with only the parking lights also.
