I'm trying to figure out if my car is lowered...
I know it sounds like a dumb question, but I think it has a mild drop.
I just bought it two days ago. I thought it was stock when I went to see it. Turns out it's got a catback and a shortshifter. I think it's lowered, I can get three fingers in the tire/fender gap. And the front bumper is about 7.5" off the ground. I wanted to lower it like my old car (5"). I never had any problems with it that low and the shocks never had problems in 2 years. Suggestions? Thanks in advance.

They looked like they've been on a while, I don't really know what stock ones look, like. They aren't any bright non-rust coat like tein or H&R, so I don't know...

Hard to tell... I mean if the car is old enough the shocks/springs could be shot to hell on it and it could appear to be lower than a normal non-lowered car.
If your springs look like normal brown/rust color and your shocks look black / rusty then you probably are not lowered. It's also possible that someone may have cut your stock springs, but I dont know if you'd be able to spot it or not.

I'd say prolly not because the other mods are rather cheap and following that it'd prolly just have coilovers. Any non stock shocks would be easily identified.

Re: (SVOboy)
Any suggestions on which spring I should use for stock shocks? I was going to go tein s-techs or H&R race... I'll replace the shocks by christmas.

My comp doesnt have a highspeed usb port. I'm still trying to figure out how to get pics into my comp. I got the cable, camera and everything. I even swapped a supposedly "high speed" port in and it's not working.

I would get the H&R's race springs. I seen and read that the s.techs don't give that good of a drop.
If i had to do it all over again i would just go with some ground control's. I have neuspeed race on mine.

You don't need a USB2 port to get pictures off of a USB1 camera or visa versa. It'll self negotiate to the fastest speed it can handle. Unless you put a USB2 card in it, you didn't swap in a "high speed" port.

I installed the 2.0 driver and have a 2.0 card... I don't know what the deal is. Whenever I try to upload pictures it shows them as fractured images... the previews when I try to load them are either X'd or are jigsaw pieces.

Yeah, different car app. different drop. I've seen same springs vary in drop between car models.
