If they are stock springs and it looks like you have a drop. The previous owner either cut the springs or heated them up.

Your bumpstops might be cut. When I first lowered my car a while back, the directions said to cut the bumpstop. A year later I put my stock springs on with the cut stops, and the car looked slightly lowered.

Then the shocks went out and the car looked even lower. hope that helps.
