Alos put the 15's on. The tires are a smaller profile, which I dont like, but Ill wear em out and bump it up some.

Well like always, Im stuck. I went to put that rear sway bar in tonite with the brackets that just came in. But, I have to modify my strut. Theres a small lip that comes off and its not allowing for the new bracket to sit flush. And of cource, my grinder died.
Anyways, heres one of the brackets- These are replicas of originals that used to come on ACR's and whatnot. Mopar doesnt make them any more and its nearly impossible to find a new set. Some guy on neons.org makes them for $50


Here you might be able to spot that lip



And it not sitting flush


So, Im going to have to grind that lip off

Another thing I did today was make my own bracket for the sway bar that mounts to the frame, again discontinued. I went to home depot and got those brackets for conduit and pluming, heated it up and bent it more..See?




And I had to fill in a vaccum port for the TB and reroute it.

Went to home depot and bought a new dewalt 4 1/2" grinder
I grinded down the lip on the struts and hit it with some rustoleum paint, did both sides the same
