I got 2003 I4 sedan. This spring after 5 months(winter) of research and help from HAN members I installed TEIN SS coilovers without pillow mounts. Front height adjustment ranges from higher then stock to I beleive almost 4 inches lower then stock. Rear is a bit different story. At the highest setting you will still be about 1.4" lower then stock. But I am sure there will be still enough clearance for winter. Struts are damping force adjustable. I have it at the stiffest setting. Had it midway between soft/stiff, but it was too soft for my liking. Right now I have about 1 1/2 index finger gap front/rear.I do not think I will be adjusting hight for winter (Ottawa, Ontario, Canada=lotsa snow) since I am going back to stock 16"rims, they are a lot smaller then my summer 18". No camber kit on the front, SPC EZ Arm camber kit on the rear. Stock rims looked OK when I dropped her, but 18" with 225/45/18 made a big difference in performance/appearance. They filled up wheel wells so nicely and handling has improved.
here is TEIN site TEIN

Hope this helps.

Cheers
