Is the difference between the 02' and the 04' so extreme that the Evo 5 body kitfor 00'-02' dodge neons that it will not fit on an SRT-4???

If I were you morf, I'd drop the idea of a body kit, and get a sweet paintjob instead. A body kit won't do anything for your performance, so it should be the last thing you add, just as a vanity feature =). Instead, buy a stage 2 turbo kit, and a new intake/exhaust, get the mopar performance BOV for that extra sound and the mopar short throw shifter with the bushings. Increase the performance of the car, then add the body kit, but in my opinion, it doesn't need a body kit. If you want it to look cooler though, you can upgrade the suspension, and lower it to its maximum. The lower SRT-4's look neat! But I think 260hp with 280lb-ft of torque with the stage 2 is more fun than the body kit. Not to mention 100 octane mode, where it's 280hp and 300lb-ft of torque!!! =)

You'll be quite happy with it even if you pay the full price.[sm=smiley2.gif]

i do agree it looks nice dropped.. which brings on another question. Can you put Airbag suspension on this? if so would it increase or decrease performance any? i am asknig this because around here there are some crappy roads and i might need to higher the suspension at times and i figure the press of a button is way easier. Also i am not gonig to get a paint job I am going to leave it E-Blue all the way. i love the color and think it droped a small bit would look excelent . i am startnig to agree about the body kit however, i have been looking at some E-blues and they are beautiful. so i might not get a body kit how ever i do want the evo5 if i could put it on . i just like the look with the fog lamps. Anyway, is the Stage 2 really worth it? is 30hps worth 1.500$?im just not sure about that. however i wil be getting the BOV and change the exhaust.

The Stage 2 is definitely worth it. It's not only 30hp, but 50hp under high octane mode. But anyway, even on 91 octane, with the 260hp and 280lb-ft of torque, the car is faster than an STi, and infinitely faster than an Evo. That to me is certainly worth it. There goes the competition right?

Well, it's more like a 40 HP gain for $1,500 which equals to almost a 17% gain in HP, plus the lower E.T.'s and quicker 0-60 times. Most professional racers would sell their mother for those kinds of gains....[sm=smiley16.gif]

Dusty, do you know what the new times are exactly? Stock it's 5.4 seconds to 60 I think, how about after stage 2? Under 5 secs?

They've got some times posted on the "other" forum. I'd take anything they claim about their Stage 2 times with several grains of salt unless they've got a picture of their timeslip....there's a lot of B.S. over there.....[:'(]

Has anyone ran a 1/4? and timed it with the Stage 2? 13.5? or lower? just wondering? Oh by the way i found the Evo-3 body kit that says it fits 00'-Up neons so it should fit and you get to keep the fog lamps!@ sweet!
