Neons Cracked

[joshbrown38]

I just installed a neo underbody kit last night and woke up this mornning to find every tube cracked. It got down to about 39 degrees last night; could that be the reason. I am going to return them to Kragen and forget about neons forever. I will spend that money on something that makes the car faster.

I'm sorry :p I won't break the next set if you get another.

Actually, yeah they will combust under freezing temperatures, but that's 32*. I'm sure it got down that cold last night and then presto-chango they started a little crack and it just kept spreading.

Neons Cracked

Its a 99 camaro; where I come from its common for "imports" and U.S. cars to run with Neons; I was unaware that everyone agreed what can and can not go on diffrent cars; I just thought it would look cool for our schools car show.

There was no temp warning on it, but it is my guess that it was the cold.
I returned them today, I'm going to spend that money on lowering springs.
