Yeah when you get done post some pics, I'm getting ready to get those springs and was wondering how the drop would look.

finished installing the springs and so far everything is working well
going to push it harder on corner to see if there are any noises or problems
the drop is perfect all around for me, im able to go over the speed bumps in my complex w/o scrapping. this was the first time for me installing springs and it took a little longer, but it was worth the pain.

These are the Swift Sport GSRs, but they are the same as the SpecRs in the lowering department:
