Hi, hopefully someone here can help me with oem fender arch heights both front and rear on a typical SPORT, Highline, or even an ACR coupe?

Long and short of it, i'm building a stripped down track car that rules require ride height to be "stock". 98 sport coupe 5sp. Car had a twobit butchered suspension lowering job I gutted, then while awaiting new strut assemblies I stripped the interior.obviously now it's a 4x4, can someone give me some measurements?

Thank you in advance, Dean.

 

1 day and 93 views later, not one person here can work a simple tape measure?

 

Please nobody trouble yourselves, I found ground clearance specs off a general car specs website. Keep eating those potato chips. Everytime I ask the simplest tech question on most car forums I am amazement at the incompetent membership. I happen to be a NASCAR crew chief - You never know the loss you had at you disposal. BYE lazy people.

 

You couldn't have grabbed a tape measure yourself?

Ever think that most neons have probably had the suspension redone by now meaning, that a lot probably no longer ride stock?

If you replaced junk parts with OEM parts it's likely the 4x4 height you stated was factory, could have thrown the stripped parts in to weight it back down and checked yourself.
Shows what a NASCAR chief knows.........

 

You've single handedly made this sites technical value a bigger flop then it already was. ... and showed you can't comprehend English text in the process.

 

I'm sorry, not everyone checks every post, everyday.
I was not the idiot coming on thinking to have a million responses in one day, thinking everyone has time to check my post and go check their car.

By being a jack a$$ you have single handedly made yourself out to be an arrogant a$$.

 

Hey man those things are difficult you use and they can have sharp edges! You're asking men and maybe some women to risk their lives. You better give darn good reasons.

 

Seriously, Smokesxt is correct.... It all depends. Not everyone runs the same specs.

Shocks/springs wear. I was driving for god knows how long with a broken front spring. barely noticed it. Tire size can vary greatly too which can effect ride height. 65-85... That really effect ground clearance. Have ridden with 65's and bottom out scratching up my skid plate. 75's and 85's, it's a completely different world. Ride height and wheel well clearance is very subjective depending on tires and age of shocks/springs. Never mind the variations in makes/models of cars which compose the Neon's.

Would be cool to know *your* measurements after stripping down your car.
Have tried to get more ride height by using 2nd gen springs with first gen struts... or was it the other way around... Worked great until the spring seat failed on the strut. Went from 4" to 10" back to 6" with new stock struts/springs.

It all depends. You have to give more info. And yeah, it sucks no one cares. The thing is it may not pertain to a persons experience or interests. For instance: I don't even bother with performance mods threads most of the time. It doesn't pertain to my ride or interests. If it's not about repairing or getting the best MPG it's useless to me. Other guys have hard-on's for that stuff and it'll have pages in the thread.

You're building a track car... Why you would want it to have a stock ride is beyond my knowledge. It would make more sense to use stock shocks with small wheels (65) for torque and takeoff speeds. Which would lower your profile. Lower profile would mean less air resistance and stuff. I'm not a racer though...
