I did not personally notice any mpg change with the lower springs, but my driving varies so much it's hard to get consistent numbers, it drove a little rougher then normal but not much, cornered well, I bought them because my rear springs sat lower and I wanted something that was adjustable so I could match the front to the rear.
I assume you want photos of how the cars looks lowered like this? because it's not easy to get photos of the shocks while they are still on the car (wanted to find out if there was any demand for these before I replace them), I suspect my cost to replace them is going to be around $250, I paid $480 for the pair of front units and about $40 for the pair of rear springs, so I would like to get around $250 for them if I can, one of them is either going to be rebuilt or new, depending on the warranty work they do.
