That's what we thought until we passed it. It's the next Dodge car up the line, little bigger than a neon. Pretty sure it's a Stratus or something like that. It's a 4 door family car.

The rear two doors were primer grey. I didn't get to see it for long, as we were running late, but my guess is he shaved the back door handles. The exhaust was SICKENING loud.

Just looked up some pics of cars. The rear looks like a neon, but the front looks like this:

Strange..... I think it's been cross-breeded a bit.

Are those 17x8's or 17x9's? Did you put the spacers up front too?

Okay. The first pic just looked a little funny, must be the angle. The second one looks right, now that I look at it more closely.

Any issues, like rubbing on the fender or anything? I'm really looking to get some for mine soon.

If I had lowering springs I would be a bit more concerned. My tires are pretty even with the wheel.... and the sidewall is just past the inside of the fender, but my drag launch springs are pretty tall. I plan to swap out the rear shocks later this summer. I'm hoping I don't have to roll the fenders, but I will if I have to, just depends on how much I get them to squat in the rear on a launch.

It's hard to tell, but your ride height doesn't look much different than mine. Have you ever measured the distance from the fender to the ground?

I need some new quad shocks, which may help a little with axle movement. But, I dunno. I probably just need to test how far the wheel goes up into the fender, now.

I measured before and after the springs, and it's dead on for the same height as the stock setup.

He was pimpin' it hard. Honestly I looked pretty hard to see if it was two kits in one to get it that tall.... couldn't imagine a company really making the pedestals that tall, but it looked like one piece to me.

He knew we were taking pics.... he bumble bee'ed his arse down the on ramp as hard as it would go. I half throttled it to pull up beside him while my g/f was taking a side view pic. Then it was his turn to hear some REAL exhaust. :usa:
