Default ? real quick?

most of you recomend the eibach lowering springs i believe....some say tein...maybe even skunk2.....but i believe the lower the car is the better it will handle...so...my question

i was looking at some of the springs on ebay...and between all the different brands what i really need to know is how much of a drop would you guys rather go with....
1" or less
1.5" or less
1.75" or less
or the full 2" like im thinking i want...

The best amount to lower a Neon for optimal handling performance is right around 2.0" (Sportlines, S-Techs)...
Remember that when you lower that much, you will have to buy a camber correction kit or else your risk damaging things and causing severe tire wear, along with even worse handling then stock. The only way to get true performance though is to buy a set of coilovers that allow you to have different levels of dampening, along with height adjustability.

Any tire/suspension shop will sell them...but MP and Howell sell them IIRC (at a better price too).
