C Grade MPx shift knobs available now in limited quantities for $18.99!

These are shift knobs that were dented, scratched, or otherwise damaged that we can not offer as brand new A grade shift knobs. They are 100% still functional, and they add a nice solid feel to your shift sensation while driving.

 Here are the benefits of the MPx shift knob:

-Locking sleeve with 8 allen key screws lock onto the shift stalk and will never come loose.
-Great looking polished aluminum shift knob with 1-5 shift gate pattern cnc machined into it.
-The shift knob and sleeve weigh in at 5 ounces compared to the factory plastic knob weighing in at 1.5 ounces. So you get a much more solid feel with the MPx knob assembly when shifting through the gears.

Natasha Brown knows what drives Barack Obama, or at least what he used to drive.

The 21-year-old Broadview woman owns the 2000 Dodge Neon that once belonged to the president-elect. Illinois secretary of state records show Obama briefly owned the four-door car and sold it to a suburban dealership in January 2005, just a few weeks before being sworn in as a U.S. senator.

Brown, then 18, picked out the Neon while browsing with her father at Park Plaza Dodge in September 2005. Her dad tried to steer her toward another car, but Brown thought the silver sedan was “cute.”

She paid $6,000 for the car, which had about 60,000 miles on it. After Brown signed the papers, the salesman told her that Obama once owned the Neon, but back then Brown and her teenage friends didn’t consider the junior senator famous enough to care about.

The car’s transmission had to be replaced last Thanksgiving, but otherwise it hasn’t given her any problems. Brown thought about trading in the car before the election but now thinks it might be more fun to show people the title with the president’s signature on it. If the car’s value shoots up because it once belonged to Obama, Brown—who cast her vote for the Democrat in her first presidential election—says she would entertain offers.

“I can’t believe the president of the United States would be driving around in a Dodge Neon,” she says. “It’s a little girl car.”

This is the ultimate in coilovers from BC.

This set of coilovers, which is overkill for most daily driven cars, is really designed for anyone who wants the ultimate in control of their suspension and the ability to fine tune their suspension.

The ER coilovers are basically the exact same type as the regular coilovers (with front camber plates, triple hard coat protection finish), except that instead of having ONE knob for rebound and compression adjustment, the rebound and compression are now seperately adjustable.

This means that you can fine tune your cars suspension for:

Heigth
Spring pretension
30 way Rebound
20 way Compression

NOTE: If when you are reading this, and you dont understand any of the above terms, and all your looking for is to just slam your Neon SRT-4, please look at the basic BC Coilovers we offer. We dont mean to be harsh, but we dont want anyone buying a way advanced set of coilovers for their needs.

Our older photos were’nt cutting it, so we decided to take new detailed photos of the Energy Suspension bushing kits for the 1995-1999 Dodge/Plymouth Neon and 2003-2005 Dodge SRT-4. We’ve also LOWERED the retail pricing on these as well !

This is just another way that Modern Performance is different from other automotive parts shops - we take ACTUAL photos of the parts. We dont use the same generic photo over and over, we actually show you the REAL parts for your vehicle!

A customer of ours stopped by our shop the other day and it was SLAMMED!

This particular customer has the Megan coilovers, and although we didnt have a chance to ask him how much he lowered it, we can safely assume that its lowered to the MAX!

The beauty of using coilovers like these, is that you can lower your vehicle a LOT and not have to compromise your ride quality. If you had lowered your Neon SRT-4 with drop springs this much, the spring rate would have to be EXTREMELY high to prevent the strut from bottoming out. So, ride quality would be terrible with springs.

With coilovers like this, you can lower your car a huge amount and still have a good ride quality!
