ok first of all i want to say any one that is thinking about lowering there car themself. before you start make sure you can get the bolt holding the the bottom of the back shock on. also i had a problem with with finding the right alan wrench every set i had didnt have the right size to loosen the bolt on the top of the stock shocks but in the tools with your spare tire you have this http://files.automotiveforums.com/uploads/105224MVC-009S.JPG notice how it has an alan wrench at the top it fits perfect.

this is how much my car is lowered http://files.automotiveforums.com/uploads/496674MVC-008S.JPG

i have eibach sportlines and KYB AGXs the handling is amazing compared to stock as far as i can tell so far. they have only been on for 2 days. i havnt played with the adjustments on the shocks yet i just have it on 2 (1 being the softest 4 the hardest) ok with that said here is the final product

Is it lowered in the pictures? Looks almost stock height to me, but the link you gave shows that you dropped it 2 inches :confused:

Usually since stock wheels are so small it's hard to tell that it's lowered unless you dump it. But you can tell, stock would have a much bigger wheel gap. I think the only reason it doesn't look noticeably "lowered" is because the wheels don't fill in the space much because they're stock size, but you can definately tell that it's lowered.
It's nice at that height though, you don't have to worry about camber problems there. :)
