Default springs

ok so i was lookin into some springs for my neon and they had these dropzone springs for 105 on ebay then they had the skunk2 for 151 i was wondering is it worth the 51 more dollars or should i save it because there isnt much differenece?

I have 205/35?17's do yours rub on the inside? if so try getting some 6mm spacers, any bigger and you will need longer studs

Get the right size tires instead of relying on spacers. Those can be bad.

ive never heard anything good about spaces.....

you need to drop that 45 series tire down to a 40 series.....45's are a bit large for a neon
i usually either run 215/40-17 or 205/40-17....i personally like the 215/40's more

you know that lowering your car and not doing the shocks to it will wear down your shocks...
