I dont have any pics but I can give you an insight or two...
I have an 04 with S-techs and I would say the drop is pretty much perfect. Gets rid of that ugly wheel gap but its not so low that you have clearance problems. The ride quality is excellent. Pretty close to stock comfort in my opinion. The car handles/corners great. Its not really a night and day difference from stock but its noticeably better.
I also have an 04 GTI with some $1500 KW V2's and I can tell you my S will run circles around it. The KWs ride like garbage. Slightly off topic but im just trying to make the point that more expensive doesnt always mean better.
Hope that helps....

oh no no problem i get you thanks alot for the input , some people say that these springs are "softer" than oem? can this be? thats the only thing that is making me think 
and think of Espeirls wich is definely stiffer but lower 
not sure if Espirls would be too low= translating into poor aligment and clearance 
hows aligment on tein S? can it get OEM specs? thanks

You can get it to OEM specs. My alignment was wayyyy off after I put them on. Took them 1.5 hrs on the rack to get it back to OEM but they did do it. No problems at all since I aligned it.
