I'm sure it looks good, can't really tell from the photo..

Some friendly advice though; using just lowering springs is a bad idea. It will wear out the OEM shocks because the dampers will have to compress much more to absorb bumps. It's logical; the spring is shorter and therefore the shock. The shocks/struts & springs need to be matched for a particular application.

Trying to make a shock handle a spring that it was not designed for (i.e. height, rate, etc.) does not yield good comfort and/or handling results. Especially if the shocks are the factory std. versions, which are borderline quality at best.

If lowering was your goal, coilovers are the better option, since the spring is mated to the proper shocks.
