Ok - finally here are some pics of my baby with Pro-kits installed and a new set of shoes (Bridgestone Potenza S0-3's sized 205/55/zr15 although they're a little hard to see).

Looks nice how much of a drop is it, and hows the ride feel.

I got them for $215 shipped from optauto.com - maybe I could have found them for cheaper but I'm pretty lazy:) The ride is just like stock! I know alot of people say that but its really true. The only difference is better handling, better steering response, and less body roll. I reccomed them for any Si owner who wants to go with a noticeable but conservative drop and still retain the original suspension components (shocks, tires, etc...) although I did swap my rubber but not b/c they wore out - just a stickier summer set.

A $40 gift cert. to Best Buy :D ... My uncle and I installed them together so that was a little thank you gift.

looks like your sidewall height is smaller now with the new tires, is that right ?, the drop doesn't seem to have lowered the wheel well gap much, so I am assuming the sidewall height is smaller.

I know the pics aren't the greatest quality - they aren't digital - but the springs really only lower the car 1". I know this isn't much and it does still leave quite a bit of wheel well gap but I like to keep things as simple as I can. And yes, the tires do have a slighly smaller sidewall but only by a fraction of an inch...the stock tires are 195/60/15 and my Potenzas are 205/55/15 so they have a touch wider footprint on the ground and a touch shorter sidewall. They grip like no tomorrow though and the ride quality is preserved so I'm happy in both respects!:)

actually I really like the drop of the Pro-Kits, Ive got a set ready to install in my garage, should be on this week hopefully. I just think the smaller sidewall tires cut into the reduction that the springs make on the wheel wheel gap. Still a nice drop though.
