As to the fronts- I don't think the sleeve is large enough to slip over the seat, even with the weld ground smooth. Measure carefully, because I certainly could be wrong, and if so, I spent money removing the seats and having a stop welded on 1 1/2" lower for no particularly good reason. Using 6 inch springs, running on the weld on my Konis I was able to get the ride height down maybe an inch at the most. The super short struts in the front of a Neon don't lend themselves to this sort of stuff easily.
Rears are kind of the same story for ride height. I would be cautious about grinding too much on the steel sleeve in the middle of the upper mount- they tear out of stock cars with normal shocks, so any compromise of strength there is probably not good. I would probably give up and pony up the dough for the camber plates.
An ?amusing? story- When I ordered my stuff from GC, it came with exactly no comprehensible instructions. There was nothing on the website other than a pic of the front plates. The fronts were relativly straightforward, although there was more cutting and grinding involved with the top of the strut tower than I was really happy with. The rears had one hole that kind of lined up with one of the four holes in the tower, so I drilled, ground, cut and hammered until they went in. I was on the website the other day, and the new pic of the rear plates looks absolutly nothing like the ones I have. No part numbers or words etched on the plates, no installation instructions...... Good product, not so good support maybe.
