Had problems during installation due to mechanic being a hobozoid. At first I had 6 inch lift cause he did not install them right.

Dropzone coilovers with precisely 4 inch drop all 4 corners
18 inch motegi rims
front tires 225-45-18
rear tires 215-35-18

in reply to all your questions:
the dragon stays. I always wanted it.. and I got it from my sponsor.
I do have 4 inches drop as measured from top of wheel well to ground. used to be 29 on all corners and 28/3/4 on rear of vehicle. Now it is 24 on front and 23/3/4 on rear so it is technically more than 4 inches.
It may not look like it is but with my tires the correct drop showed 4 inches. Also if I had 14's or 16's i would be scraping the ground. Also valo666 you are runnign on stock tires and can stick 2 finders in between(as you posted before) I can not stick anything, not even a pensil as all 4 of my tires are tucked under the fenders and rear quaterpanels.

Difference in height is as follows:
stock tires +4 inch drop: 185/60/r14 sits lower because the wheel diameter is less. Your wheel is about 22.7 inches in diameter, while mine is 26.0 we are talking about 1.6 inches of extra height for me. So my dropzone coilovers have to lower 4 based on the specifications I have. I have measured everything as I took pics.

Also if you take a picture at 45 degree angle your car will look lower. Try doing same thing 5 inches off the ground, like I was.

And btw vinil or no vinil... it is in the eye of the beholder. I contradict all your expectiations by having white rims, blackest tint, a hint of vinil and generally everything else different in one way or another. I love the way my car looks and I would never change a thing about it.
