Default What Springs for a '05 Neon? Want a 2"+ Drop

I have a friend that has an '05 Neon.
She bought a set of coil overs because she wants to go lower then 2", But when they got here the coil overs don't fit.
I talked her into going with Springs instead, But can't seem to find a reputable company that offers any more then a 2" drop.
Any Suggestions?
Lead me in the right path?
Names, Prices, Links?

Tein is at the top of her list at the moment, But 1.8F/2.0R is all they have to offer and she's rollin on stock 16" wheels I think.
Wheel Gap Is not wanted on her car!!!

Thanks in advance.

-Jeff

eibach lowering spring is what i have and it lowered 2 in the front and 2.5 in the rear. the are good springs to. dont forget though when you put them on to get the camper kits for the front and the rear i also bought the sway bar links for the rear so you can use the factory sway bars. when you lower the car in the rear that much you can not use the old ones. i would also recomend new struts when you lower them to. i got the tokio hp and they have a decend price on them to.

here a web page that i know has everything you need but there are others out there to

Eibach Sportlines will give you the drop you want...as will Tein S-Techs I believe...

I agree with the skunk2s, they will give you a good drop and the rides not that bad.

just a littel advise though, the car will be low, and if she drives it a lot on bad roads, she might bottom out. other than that, eibach sportlines are good. will need new struts though

Bottoming out FTL. I took mine down a dirt road on rough terrain. Basically I shouldn't have went down there with my car, should have gone with a truck. Anyhow, I bottomed out in the sand and almost got stuck. LOL. But I made it and didn't screw anything up. Just don't go to low if it is your DD or else you'll have a serious problem navigating as almost anything with an incline will be a problem. If you want lower I'd suggest eibach pro kit with some aftermarket struts.

If I wasnt going with a r34 kit I would lower my sxt with the sportlines with tokiko blues for the struts . If I lower her with the kit I would have to go with an airride to do that . Which I might do later on if I can find a sponsor for the air suspension but for right now when I get the kit it will look already lowered.
