I'll do it. How about this, if you want me to do it by myself $100, if you want to get dirty too and supply pizza you don't have to pay anything. You'll be on your own for alignment and corner-weighting, but I will be able to get a rough camber setting to get you by until you can get a proper alignment.
Let me know.

Yeah i should be able to do it Saturday, If you could be here by 10:00-11:00 that would rock. You getting dirty or paying me?
In corner-weighting the goal is to equalize the combined weight on the LF and RR tires, and the weight on the RF and LR tires. It is highly recommended on cars with coilovers as without it cornering can be unpredictable. Here is a decent article I found on google explaining corner-weighting in basic terms. http://www.eurotuner.com/howto/26598/

Before:
(awful lighting, should have taken the pic from the other side)
After:
Yeah, some positive camber in the back... It's not too bad, it'll be ok until alignment time. When you get your alignment, Micah, tell them you want as much negative camber in the front as possible, up to -2 degrees.
If I had it to do again it would have been closer to two hours, but I didn't know 2nd gens so well going into it and a few other little things slowed me down some (finding jack points, forgetting to loosen lugs before jacking lol). The drop is awesome, low enough we had to use two 2x4s under each tire to get it down and the jack out from under it. When you are standing there with the hood open the engine is so low almost like a lowered older Honda. Glad you're happy with it, and it's always good to meet more Neon people!

Maybe we can get some people together to grab something to eat...
Vinny, Joe, Fred... anyone else want to try and meet up tomorrow (well today now) somewhere and grab something to eat and hang out for a little bit? I'd say go down and watch the fireworks but traffic and all those people... dunno if it's worth it.
