Does it look like I need to lower my car?
So what do you think, stock ride height or should I lower my car a little?
I was thinking of getting some Spoon springs because of the perfect drop and the stiffness, any other brands you guys recommend?

go for performance, not just looks 
if it handles well as it is, then keep it there...
but from a purely aesthetic standpoint, i think spoon progressive springs would give you the perfect mild drop...

personally i dont race often or at all... so i enjoy an extremely slammed stance. Its a matter of functionality, you make the call.

keep it the way it is... the size of the wheelgap is perfectly even all the way around the wheel.. I think thats beautiful..
anything lower, and then you're "lowered".. err.. right.

my gosh, appearance/cosmetic is full of ricers.
lowering your car may help with handling if you drive a geo metro, or a civic... but the ITR has been race-tuned and balanced from the factory. there's a reason why every part was selected and placed on the car. again if this post is STRICTLY for looks, then sure you could drop it. but please dont do what that guy did with the photoshop... that looks like its on bags. nasty.
spoon springs (or something even milder) would be all you need for aesthetics. but if you feel like it handles well as it is, then leave it alone... most ITR drivers i know are more concerned with performance than looks anyways...
