Yes, the pic in the post, and the pics on first page of my car site are taken after the drop. As I mentioned, I thought the car was lowered less than expected. In the rear I'm hard pressed to see a significant difference, but in the front it's definitely lower. I'm thinking it'll settle in a little with use, since I've only driven a few miles since I finished the job. I'd say the car is lowered about 1 inch in front, and less than 1/2 inch in the rear - so far. We'll see if it settles any more. The specs of the springs say 1.3 inch front, and 0.6 inch rear.

The biggest improvement is in the ride quality though. See post below for a brief ride/handling report, but I will write more on this when I have driven the car more. Generally though, much more comfortable than expected. Doesn't feel harsh at all, just very solid and confidence-inspiring. IN fact, I'd say the ride is much better, because it's eliminated the "mushiness" of the stock suspension.
