Car needs more low. And polished blades are always win. These don't look bad though.

looks good, just needs a drop...

So what makes these "jdm" ones different than the USDM ones? I don't see a difference, maybe the pics to small...

I agree with the replies,I'm planning on lowering it 2 inches.
I need help deciding which lowering springs to get.

What is your offset on the 17's brent? and how much negative camber are you running to avoid rubbing, especially up front? I have some drag dr17s that I'm selling cause they are 17's but if they don't rub too bad I'd consider keeping them. I have skunk2 springs too that are going on spring break.

as long as you roll your fenders, you should have no problems with rubbing at a 2 inch drop. I was running 17x7 42mm offset wheels, 205/40 tires, a 2 inch drop on eibach sportline springs, and running correct camber on my old hatch and had no problems at all. On my current car I have the same setup except for my wheels are 16x7 40mm offset with 205/45 tires, and again no rubbing.

Skunk2's are 2.5" drop which that .5" will make a decent difference. Not worth rolling the fenders imo, selling these stupid things for some 15's.
