Lowering on stock rims (see picture)

I am considering a 1.5" drop with H&R lowering springs and keeping my stock 17" rims. I know they I did a photo before/after analysis of what to expect in terms of aesthetics.
So, what do you guys think? Should I do it? Stock 17" rims, lowered.

I would recommend going with adjustable coil overs that way you can adjust them if you decided you want different ride height later on

I second Peydidy. But for the price the H&R springs aren't a bad choice. But coil-overs are better..
