I worry about lowering springs though. I put a set on my old civic way back in the day and they blew out the stock struts after a couple months. It was the same deal; eibach springs that required trimming the bump stops and because they reduce the amount of travel that the stock strut sees it prematurely wears them out. After 2-3 months it was retarded. I would go over a bump and would bounce up and down like I had hydraulics.

At that point I had basically all spring and no damper any more. It looks good, but I'll only mess with coilovers. They're more expensive but you get what you pay for. BTW, your X does look good. I am not trying to bash your choice in parts, but rather just preparing you for the possible outcome of this. Good luck, enjoy 'em while you got 'em.
