You think? So lowering the car won't dramatically change the look? I read in another post since I have the sports package it won't make that much of a difference visually. Is that true?
that pic dose look like itis lowered. if you lower it more it going to be a better cornering, but I would keep what you have how it looks good.
spend the money on some thing that you dont have. eg LED tail lights

I have the sport package and I am going to go with Eibach Pro-kit. Will get a minor drop (~1/2") and a small improvement in handling. Probably only "car guys" will know if is lowered. Others will notice that the car looks nice, but wouldn't be able to point out why.

For me I ended up at the point where if I was going to change the shocks to Koni sports I would do H&R sport, but since staying with the OE sport shocks I will go with the softer Eibach's. Many feel the OE shocks are fine with H&R, but I was worried it would overpower them a little and have faster wear.

Better Pics:
Much better pix! Those wheels are hot! Great job. I wouldn't bother dropping it. I think it looks great as it is.
