I bought a set of the SVE springs and thought they would be as low as my Sportlines. They are actually a bit taller and when I installed them on the rears & dropped the car back down last weekend, it sat to high for me, granted they may have settled some after a while but I pulled them back out.
I wanted to be a bit lower, not higher, so I ended up pulling all isos from front and back and putting the Sportlines back in. It now is, to me, noticeably lower, netting about another 1/4" - 3/8" drop and am very happy with the results. A short test drive produced no ill effects.
I may sell my SVEs or just keep them to "modify" if I want to go lower in the future.

Install them with no isos or even with just the uppers. They will sit just as low if not lower than your sportlines and will feel better on the road.

I thought of that and put them in without the isos...
I think they would be perfect for someone going from stock springs though.

I just had my H&R Sport springs ( not Super Sports ) installed today and new ISO's with all 4 new Bilstein shocks.
I am still needing them to settle, so hopefully they will drop another 1/4 of an inch.

^^^^ I hope that thing comes down a bit more. Almost looks stock, hate to say it. I lowered mine with B springs. Big mistake. Should have gotten H&R super sports to begin with and bilsteins.

Yeah I hope so too! Otherwise I will be a little upset with how it turned out. But man does the suspension feel much better and handles extremely well. My stock shocks were blown and leaky, the new shocks are awesome!

EDIT: NEW H&R SUPER SPORTS HAVE NOW BEEN INSTALLED! They even feel better than the last set which were just Sports.
Here is an updated pic:

Can you post more pics? I am about to install the same springs on my 95 and can't for the life of me decide if I want to reinstall my pro thane isos or not. I am actually thinking about just keeping both of them out. Ugh I hate being OCD!
