Use caution dropping the front. The front air dam and intercooler sit pretty low...[sm=smiley5.gif]

I dropped mine lower than the stage 2 coilover stock height. Meaning I cut the set screw and lowered the stop ring so my car is lower than the lowest settings for the stage 2 coilover. I will post a pic from home.

Can't do that around here. With all the rain we've had since January, the roads are in terrible shape. These cow trails weren't meant for cars....[:@]

Not me, I love the classic muscle car style rake to it. You have to watch it when lowering it, it's still a Neon frame and geometry and they can only be dropped so far without causing safety issues. They don't have alot of suspension travel from the factory and lowering it just lessens it more.

Here it is the day after I dropped it and washed it. I like it but I believe that I am stressing the stage 2 settings a little more than what they should be. I can hear pings and spins and springs clanking. I need to get damper adjustable shocks and I should be fine. If I would have waited and got stage 2 instead of the short throw shifter I wouldn't have to uninstall the whole thing and reinstall the shocks. Oh well. Live and learn(still learning). Stage 2 coilovers btw.
