Default 1992 Hatchback CX help

So i just bought a CX. Thing is the previous owner had it lowered way to low for my tastes. Ive never messed around with this kind of thing on cars and i was just seeing if anyone could throw some ideas my way. I was thinking stock would be fine for me since i just use it for work and school. Any help would be great.

Determine what was used to lower the car, if it is adjustable raise it up. If it as as low as your statement suggests, it likely has adjustable suspension.

This should help if you're a visual person.

How do you NOT know what it is you have installed on a car that YOU bought? Have you even looked yourself?

So that stops you from inspecting/inventorying it? Even without the video you can look and easily figure it out if you have adjustable sleeves. And if all you have is springs you're screwed. But we don't know because you didn't bother to even look.
