Default New front splitter and lowering kit?

I put the 18" Shelby wheels on and they look great my took the camera today so I will post pics tomorrow, I still have the same gap above the rear tires so I am thinking about installing the Steeda springs. Steeda says they lower the front and rear 1", the Eibach kit lowers it a little more and I think that may be too much, what's your opinion? And the more I look at the Steeda front bumper cover Splitter, the more I like it, what's your opinion on that??

I'm not a fan of radically lowered cars. Personally, I wouldn't go more than an inch. I'm thinking about lowering the front by an inch (or less), but not the back. Also, I prefer the chin spoiler over the Steeda splitter, but Steeda looks pretty good.

I think the front looks good it's just that space above the rear tires looks wrong.. if you see a nice front spoiler email me a link, I saw the Roush but I don't like it.

These are the chin spoilers I'm looking at.

I dont know about the bumper cover, its just another thing that needs to be washed and if you run over anything with 4 legs(or 2) you can kiss that good bye.. In my 97 eclipse gsx I paid 3Gs for my body kit and slammed it.. one night I took out a skunk and it took but a nice hole in bumper, took out the neon(yes neon) then put a BIG dent in my oil pan.. then cracked the rear bumber.. story over..

As for lowering your car I'm with don on this one.. sort of... I went all out and got the eibach sports kit and slammed it.. it handles like a race car.. I love taking hard turns.. but now I'm paying for it with all the damn bumpiness =-/.. now I either hace to get new springs or get some good shocks to help me out... I heard H&Rs are good.. but never tried...
