Eibachs never get stiff enough to be much good because the neon only has so much suspension travel, and progressive rates start soft (much softer than stock) and get stiffer (a little stiffer than stock by the time you hit the bump stops). Terrible "performance" spring, decent lowering I suppose. I sold mine after a year.

Best of luck!
