The cars looking great, really like the stripes. btw, I have a set of vinyl eye lids that'd make it look pretty mean.

Mike what you know bout this?
LOL, that was funny. That first pic, whoa! No offense on the big *** rims/small *** tires thing. I'm probably in the wrong thread as I'm a bit against the grain here (in the minority in this thread anyway). Sooner or later, big rims/small tires will cycle out and smaller rims/bigger tires will be back in. Just the way it goes. BTW, I'm probably quite a bitolder than most of the poster's herewhich may explain the term "old school". Back in my day, if someone would have cruised down the street with those big rim/thin tire like the fad of today, he would probably have been beaten to a pulp (or banned from smoker's corner at least). LOL. Now it's the "in" thing. I'm gettin old!

I like the look of the low pro tires, but around here I couldn't get away with them. Im going with 15-16's with atleast a 50 series tire. My sisters running 35 series tires on her neon, but she only drives that on and off a trailer.

So did you lower the rear's with those ghetto ring clamps just like you did to the front? how does it ride with those things?
No. Hardened steel adjusters. Do they work? Yes. Do I recommend them? No. Does my car ride nice? Surprisingly, yes definitely. Are they a pain in the *** to install right the first time? Oh my God you have no idea... I threw a couple items across the driveway on more than one occasion...

Mat - dont know if I want to do the whole eyelid thing or not... I dont mind the stock lights, but if I did anything, I would lean towards projectors I think...

Can you tell me how to get those Iowa? I am considering it since I really don't want to end up buying new springs PLUS new struts to hold up against the lowering stress which will run at least $500 total.

Oh and can you maybe possibly teach me how to do it since you have some knowledge of it man? I would appreciate it alot dude.

Yeah I can point you in the right direction, but trust me like I said man... not for the faint of heart. Out of the cars I have used these on, the Neon is probably the hardest so far (the front springs are quite the challenge to get them "right." Once you get it right, you're good to go... I lucked out on the front driver-side very 1st time, but I had to redo the passenger side like 8 times before I was happy and everything was in the right spots...

Like I said, yes they work (for now)... but only if you're prepared for the possibility that it may take a while to do, and it gets frustrating at points. Im happy now, but I went through unhappiness to get to that point lol. Ill PM ya later about it.

I kinda like #12, look's like that ford is lurking in the shadow's waiting to pounce on your poor little neon. But still think #1 is the best.

Yeah everything is a fad. But for now the major wheel companies are coming out with bigger and bigger wheels. Before you know it we will just be riding on a rim or we will all be driving monster cars and trucks. How old are you Mike?
