If you know where you can find a really good deal on a set of coilovers like I have found some stage3 coilovers for 300bucks and some bc coilovers for 400bucks . There are good deals on ebay every so often if your lucky. Dont have to spend a grand or so on some .

well i would never invest in coilover on my neon..cause i can never find any for 300-400 bucks but i do have a nice set on my civic(no where near stock) but man they are worth it..if you plan on modding the neon heavily i would go coilovers love them

true once you change the ride height of a vehicle, the alignment goes crazy. the insides of the tires will wear like a bastard

ok firestone wants to charge me 180 for the front and 240 for the back to install the camber alignment bolts does that sound like a good price?

Yeah dont here much of chamber kits on neons . My friend just put sportlines on his 04 sxt and didnt have to use a chamber kit and he also just put on some new 18inch tires and wheels. Post pics of your ride after you get your chamber kit on so we can see what your drop looks like.
