    I found alot of the pictures but I couldn't find pictures of BowTie Boy who bought the g6 show car that was on ebay. Also I couldn't find pictures of The_Great_m's car when it was lowered for like a week.

        Place of Purchase: ZZperformance
        Front Lower height: 1.4"
        Back Lower height: 1.4"
        Price: $159.99
        Camber affect: -1
        Short review: So far they have been great the ride isn't all that much different from stock some bumps and holes and uneven pavement are a lil more amplified but it doesn't really bother me at all. The only thing that you have to watch for on any lowered car especially out where I live in the country is drop offs on driveways and what not so you go slow and at a angle and its all good if you don't do it just right sometimes you cringe with the scraping sound. The car looks so much better lowered and is easier to wash also with me being really short. So far is hasn't been a problem but my rear wheels even with only a 1.4" drop has a -1 camber to it. I have a automatic and went with a 1.4" drop so I haven't had any vibration issues that the 6spd guys where having. The car handles alot better and amazed me when I attacked some corners that my car would have had some problems with at those kinda speeds before. Also with parking lots that have parking blocks I recommend backing into them since the rear still sits higher you can clear most of them even if you back all the way in. If you have a exhaust with tips like the gt-r it can be pretty close sometimes though.
        Would you do it different?: No.

        Front Lower height: 1.75"
        Back Lower height: 1.75"
        Price: $??
        Camber affect: ??
        Short review: Car handles extremely well, looks extremely good. Only downside is its kinda stiff on the bumps, but thats not the springs fault, it needs new shocks which arent around yet.
        Would you do it different?: ??

        Place of Purchase: http://www.canuckmotorsports.com
        Front Lower height: 1.75"
        Back Lower height: 1.75"
        Price: $204.49
        Camber affect: slight negative camber, due to amount of drop
        Short review: The effect the drop had on the car's looks and handling, was amazing. The car handles much better(no body roll) with the ride being stiffer, but not harsh. Sharp bumps are felt a bit more and the overall ride quality is pretty good. You do have to be more aware of driveway dips and curbs(parking,etc.).
        Would you do it different?: No

        Back Lower height: 1.75"
        Price: apr. $250
        Camber affect: Yes the rear showed camber, but did not appear severe enough to cause abnormal tire wear.
        Short review: Loved the look, made pot holes feel more harsh, but drove alot better IMO!
        Would you do it different?: Not a chance!

        Sprint Springs

        Place of Purchase: ??
        Front Lower height: 1.75" drop (supposedly) but ended up like 2+ inches
        Back Lower height: 1.75" drop (supposedly) but ended up like 2+ inches
        Price: $220 plus shipping
        Camber affect: -1 both sides
        Short review: It vibrated with my 6speed so i took them off. Handling was awesome, ride was bearable and definitely worth the performance.
        Would you do it different?: Get something that didn't wobble.

        Short review: The ride was alot more bumpier but better handling... Like how it looks lowered.... But dont like how the ride is....
        Would you do it different?: I would put some rubber inserts in the springs to bring the rear up abit so its not 3''... More like what its suppose to be 1.75''...

                    Camber affect: slight negative camber w/o spring inserts, almost no camber with inserts (but enough for that extra handling trick)
                    Short review: much better suspension, much less body roll, makes car appearance more attractive. only dislike is VERY minor viabration that you cant hardly feel (feels like normal road driving actually)
                    Would you do it different? Heck no!

                          did CMS change there springs? They had been advertised before as a 1.7" drop.

                            they are a 1.75 drop....i have inserts in my springs to raise it up a bit as I stated, to where I am not tucking my wheels, just even with...my personal preference, and I like the ride better this way than I did without em...again my preference.
