neon acr

[rudyboy]

Looking for help!just did my frist AutoX with my 98 Neon first time for me also. With Street tires and a stock suspension I don't think i could improve my times. I have been told to look for some ACR suspension parts that might help reduce the body roll. If any of you Dodge racers have any suggestions to get me on the right tack of what to do first I could realy use the help. Thanks

If this was indeed your first autocross, there's absolutely NO question that there's more time in you than there is in ACR suspension parts. Before you spend any dough on parts, find a really accomplished solo guy/gal and have them set a benchmark for you.

^^^ DING ^^^^ Don't drop a dime on parts until you stop getting faster just by learning WTH you're doing out there

Indeed both of you correct there is more time in me. i was just thinking with 97k on the little neon struts are needed in the near future and i do want to make the correct choices. i also don't want to sacrifice ride quility. thanks for the help

Well, that's a little different situation then. If the suspension is worn out and you'll be dropping $$$ for it anyway, then yes, the factory Koni's and ACR sways/springs are a very good upgrade. Once you get a handle on things and start looking to upgrade springs, take a look at Performance Drivens spring options. Their XX Highs completely transformed our ITA car.

Their link is in my sig ... tell them that Scott @ Izzy's sent you

What is the ACR suspension package? I see that reference often and I am curious what the upgrade was versus the stock suspension. thanks

This one is for Speed Raycer. Peformance Driven suggests that when installing xx rate springs the Koni struts should be revalved. Did You do this and if so who did it for you.
Thanks, Digger

We haven't done it yet, but fully expect to soon. Been a while since I looked up the info, but I believe we plan on going with True-Choice for the rebuild. IIRC, they advertise in the back of SportsCar.
