Unless the car is next to another one it is not imediatly noticable. The place you can tell the most is with the distance between the rim and wheel lip as well as when you get out of it. Plus I gotta be carful cause now I drag where I haven't before.

I like what I see.
I can see a big difference in the lowering in the first two pics, but in the 2nd set I don't see any difference, just thought I would say.
Sweet ride though...

Prime, there definitely is a difference in your new height. Don't go any lower unless you want problems, if this a daily driver. Your height is perfect.

How much of a difference in the ride did it actually make? Is it a lot stiffer? Can you feel every bump in the road??
Looks pretty good man!

Thanks for the comments all. 
Yep. I got them from thirdgenparts.com, but I have heard they no longer offer them. 
Monza dual 3" outlet w/ resonators by Pacesetter.
Luckly this is no longer my daily driver, it has been retired to weekend warrior. But I will not be going any lower, if I'm not careful I drag pulling into parking lots.
Nope no rubbing at all.
Rough. But defently worth it.
A lot stiffer. It's like driving a whole new car through the twisties.
And every bump is felt.
