I don't have the SPort Package, and thus the wheel gaps look huuuuge!!!!
Now I definately have to get sport springs.
I was hoping that it would not look too bad, but the 235/45/17's (dunlops) have practically no rubber compared to the stock 15's.
Don't get me wrong, they look a lot better than the 15's and the over-all diameter is exactly the same. But because of less rubber the gap is more noticable. I have to go cry again....

Default I can organize an H&R cup kit group buy if 10 people are interested.

Approx. Front Lowering - 2.0"
Approx. Rear Lowering - 1.7"

I am fairly sure the above figures are based off of the non-sport suspension.<ul><li><a href="http://www.hrsprings.com/site/products/cupkits.html">http://www.hrsprings.com/site/products/cupkits.html</a</li></ul>

Springs only? Or shocks too? I'm thinking about doing the same!

Make sure you replace more than the springs.
