Eibach Pro Kit installed
Obviously with only a 1 inch drop this is not as much for visuals as it is performance. It still rides VERY good, but the slop has been removed. On stock suspension when you take off from out of a road and turn onto another road you can feel the back of the car sway and roll. With the Pro Kit, the sway is eliminated and the car stays flat and firm pulling out onto the road. The car feels much more secure in the twisties, less sway.
REALLY happy with the kit, and in person the 1 inch drop does make a little more aggressive look. I think the biggest difference is that before it looked like it was "in the air", and now it doesn't look lowered much to the eye, but it doesn't look "in the air" and that is the biggest difference. The OBVIOUS gap that it has before is gone and it settles into a nice stance with no major obvious gap like the overstated gap from before.
The kit rides great and I'm very pleased with it. I'm quite picky about the ride and this is the best way to blow some bucks for sure, very good.
Before, big gaps on front end to ground:
After, subtle gaps on front end to ground: (I'll get better pics, this was a quickie leaving. )

It would be a lot more obvious if I didn't have 40 series tires. I have a lot more wheel gap than most do on their 50 and 55 series. My sidewall is a smidge over an inch tall.

One other pic. Anyone with 40 series tires can attest to how much massive fender gap we have. It not being too obvious here shows the small drop helped. 
For me, it's performance of the spring rate + keeping the factory ride attitude. I do like it and I'm ready for some tannabe sways.
So here is one other pic with a lot less gap than before. Lowering however, not actually the purpose of the Eibach Pro Kit.

i had the eibachs pair w/ tokico illuminas. I liked the ride, but just wasn't low enough for me. I'm now running tein s. techs, but hate the uneven drop. i'm going to try some tanabes. i hope this works.
Great choice on springs. 
Are you on stock shocks?
I added my Hotchkis fr./rr. sways, and what a big difference it feels. The car definitely corners better, with no top roll feel. So, dont hesitate on getting them Tanabes!
