Default springs

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...
