Steeda Sport Springs

Does anyone here have a pic of a hatchback with steeda sport springs installed? I am wanting to lower my car a little after I get my rodlite wheels on next week, it is still stock height (i think) so I want to lower it, I originally wanted sportlines but I think that is too much drop, and some one said to look at the steeda sports if I just wanted a slight drop?

My car isn't finished, and it is a coupe, but still a fox body. KEEP IN MIND THE CAR IS NOT FULL WEIGHT.....I lack doors, interior, hood, bumper, and it is a 2001 2V engine, not a 302. These are Steeda Sport Springs. I have 96-04 front spindles, with stock fox body LCA's and struts.

The rear is not low at all. It is the 2001 axle, Steeda Sport Springs, and HPM Mega Bite Jrs LCA's. I have both spacers under the spring that HPM provides. I am going to take both of them out and use a stock rubber or poly isolator. The bottom part of the quarter panel is 29 inches off the ground. With spacers removed it will go down to 28-1/2" KEEP IN MIND THE CAR IS NOT FULL WEIGHT.....I lack doors, interior, fuel in the tank spare, jack, tail lights. I want to get it down to at least 27-1/2". My other notch sits at that height and I like it.

I have them in my LX Hatch but it's under a car cover, covered in snow at the moment. Expect to see a similar drop to those with FRPP B springs and no isolators. The front tires (ponys) are basically in line with the fenderwell and the rear fender is about 1" above the rear tire on my car. I used Isos all the way around. The ride is harsher than stock but not horrible. The car handles waaaay better.
