srt4 knuckles on stamped dual pivot arms ?

[Fox]

might have found a deal on some srt4 front suspension, i know the coilovers can be adapted to our knuckles, but how about using the entire srt4 assembly would this negatively affect my suspension setup if i i where to do that with stamped dual pivot control arms ?

What car? The SRT stuff is pretty short.

thinking about modifying the tops and using them on my csx, i'd like to add the srt wilwood brake kit later on and having the srt knuckles would make it a bolt on deal

[cordes]

I've thought about doing the same. The only problem I see with this is that the stock SRT struts will cause the car to sit low enough that it will really throw off the geometry. The front fascia will nearly scrape the ground I bet too.

They will work, you just have to change the tie rod ends. And the SRT struts are about the same height as stock L-body struts.

I think this photo makes it look a lot higher than it really was. This was with unmodified SRT4 BC coilovers on the front of the Daytona. I couldn't have driven the car with it that low.

Me and DodgeZ put complete stock SRT4 Strut/knuckle assemblies w/ Wilwood big brakes into his GLHS and it sat at roughly stock height and cleared 17" drag radials fine. Might be a little short for a G/J/P-body but I believe they would work. Seems like I've compared strut dimensions to a Daytona strut before and they were within an inch of each other, stock vs stock. I'm sure the BC's were made to drop an SRT even at their highest setting.

That's probably true. I wonder how much drop they are for an SRT4. I'll try to look that up so we have a better idea.

[Fox]

from the pictures ive seen with pt/srt struts installed they should be a resonable height after adjustment

[cordes]

I can't seem to find how much they drop the car. I'm wondering if they actually drop it at all? They seem to make it read like you can have the stock height if you want on their site.

I used these on GLHS #437. I had to machine the width of the upright to fit the L-body strut, but be aware, IIRC, the thickness is even more than the non-L body knuckles. We used them both for the better brakes (they will fit centurions with a bolt on 15mm spacer only), and the ABS sensor (this car has SRT4 ABS). I do not recall having any ride height issues, but we did use the LRE springs on it. I know it is L and not P body, but use this as a frame of reference, FWIW.

[cordes]

I can confirm that the Neon SRT4 knuckle is significantly thicker where the strut mounts to it than with the P,G,J, etc. cars. I'd say about 1/4" or so more without measuring.

May provide some additional info....

I have stock srt4 struts and springs on my Dynasty and it's a severe drop from stock, maybe 3". Anything designed to lower beyond what a stock SRT4 is would create a lot of side effects. Ok if you're a 'low life' like me. Bad for most people.

How about srt coil overs? Would there be enough adjustment to get it to stock height (or at least close ).

Do you know if of the SRT-4 knuckles are thicker here than other 2nd gen Neons?

Would PT cruiser struts be taller and possibly work better for those that wanted closer to stock ride height?

[Vigo]

The spindle width is the same for all 2g neons and the PT cruiser. The SRT and PT strut are externally identical in every way.

Thanks!

The stock SRT strut/springs drop a P body about as low as you would want to go without severely throwing the lower arm angle out of wack.
