After driving in maxblast's car, I decided to go with the same springs he had installed. We both used the Kappasphere (Eibach) Springs. I believe they are the Pro-Kit series. They lower the car 1.0" in the front, and 1.3" in the rear. I also added the DDMWorks Pro Beam and the car drives and handles like a dream. It is a great bang for the buck combination for those not wanting to spend a 1-2 thousand on coilovers and installation. The DDMWorksPro Beam is $169 and the springs were $199 from Kappasphere. Newbridge Auto Body in Bellmore, NY handled the installation and sent it out to get aligned. Here are a few pictures:

Rear View- In my opinion, the stacked exhaust looks even better now that the car is lowered.

Rear Gap
I am not very familiar with how long the springs take to fully settle, so overnight they might get slightly lower than what the pictures show.
Looks good Spikey. I think the rears will remain the same height as pictured. But the fronts will probably come down at least another 1/2" or so over time. Yeah, it bothers me that the rear still looks slightly too high on my sol after having these springs installed for about a year now. Thinking of switching the rears only with the Sportlines just to close the back's gap more and level off the vehicle at the same time. My buddy did just that with his GXP (Pro's in front and Sport's in back) and it looks awesome. Something to think about if you get the urge to close the gap on the rears more. Just watch that stacked tailpipe on the angled driveways if you do.
i have the Eibach proKit on my N/A and have only heard the front splitter rub one time. it sits approximately 1.5-2" from the road, but I think it's close enough to the front wheels where it doesn't rub too often, especially if you are carefull.
it's actually nice to hear that thing rubbing cuz you know that it will hit way before the painted bumper.
looks great.....is there any problems with the lowering the car? like dips and road bumps? think about get mine....did you do them yourself? AWSOME!
Hey...no issues with bumps or anything so far...just drive normally and of course dont spped over bumps and dips. I had my body shop install and align them.
Hello Solo Performance can set you up with the exhaust and rear facia 905-897-6833 ask for Jeff, you might get him as they have a few locations. Thanks Norm norm's fiberglass home page
Spiky, the Intruder just keeps getting better! Sometimes you hear that it's hard to align properly with the lowered springs. How is yours? Eibach is a great quality spring that Kappasphere offers, good choice. The extra "squat" on your car sets it off very nicely! Looks mean, like it wants to launch at you.
