It was then I discovered I could get better measurements by leaving the ground out of it, by measuring from the tops of the tires to the inner wheel well. The Coupe got lowered approximately 2" and it looks like your before-and-after.
P.S. The ground is still "in it" because the vehicle is parked on it, but the measuring errors are less. Concrete slabs are deceptively uneven.

I typically measure axle centerline to wheel well for the same reasons. That gives me two hard points to base changes off of, and compare front to rear (since the tires are slightly different sizes).
I did a similar lowering on my Civic. Before and after looked very comparable to the OPs pics (his maybe a smidge lower up front). It was about a 2.5 inch drop. Mine scrapes too much as it is, I couldn't imagine going any lower.
