how much of a difference does the sport package suspension drop down the car from the non sport suspension?

I believe its about an inch. The difference between OEM sport springs and eibach or H&R is a half inch. Here is my ride with the sports package.
yeah that sounds about right... also remember that the larger the wheels you have the more noticeble the drop will be because the wheel diameter fills in more of the wheelwell... If you want an over all lower stance without sacrificing any ride comfort then these are for you..

Anyone know if these can be safely installed on an Xi car without causing any problems?
Also, OP, can you please measure the springs? I know its an odd request (possibly), but I've tried to figure out spring heights and the difference between Xi and "i" sport - all to no avail, as realoem.com simply tell me to consult my dealer (who, I have a feeling, won't be much help here).
How many miles on these springs? Any issues?
