Thanks to ThePunk for helping me out. Took us hours, but whocares...
Thanks to Rdriver for his ITR springs.

First off, here is a pic of the stock height. Note: Only change to the suspension are the the tires (Bridgestone Ponteza RE730 205/50R15 @ 40psi warm) AND Skunk2 front STB, which is MUCH STIFFER than the stock bar. I highly recommend this bar, if you cannot afford Mugen, and tired of Comptech's slightly stiffer version of the ITR front stb.

IMPRESSIONS:
I have these springs installed with the Stock Si shocks. So far, and ride has been improved. Not by a whole lot, but enough to notice the stiffer ride. Weight transfer to the rear during hard acceleration feels much better. Because of the stiffer rear spings, the front wheels stick better during launch. This is also helped with the stiffer springs up front. In addition, the slightly lower ride height helps.

Freeway cruising is nice. It's a bit stiffer, and you can feel the road more, but the car feels more controllable at speeds excess of 110mph. Driving around too feels more rough, but I'm able to take the turns much harder. The work between the Z-rated rubber of the RE730's, combined with the Skunk2 bar, and the new ITR springs, do work quite well.

The springs rates are about 25 to 35 percent stiffer than the stock springs, and with rears being progressive, the rotates better around turns. Stock Si springs rears are 201Front/99.5Rear. Whereas the ITR springs are 247Front/197-247Rear. I really like the fact that the car isn't very low. Much like the Eibach Pro-Kit would lower the Si, the ITR springs do a good job. The wheel well gaps have are smaller, and more livable to look at.

All in all, i like this setup. out of four

now all you need is some koni yellows and lower it another .5in Glad you are happy I thought about doing this also....

Hey Yoda, do you have a pic of your car after the ITR springs are in? A pic like the 1st pic you have there. If you do, can you post it up please? I'm looking into springs and don't know what to get at this point so i just wanna look at the height of the car...

I will try and get a pic after the drop. It's started to get too late, and I had to run. I have a much better pic of my car before the drop as well. I'll post both.
