Default EK ride height ?

I just got my car last week, and am wondering about the height. I swapped over my integra's snow tires so it went from a 185/65/14 to a 185/70/14. The tires are all tucked. When swapping, the suspension looks to be stock springs/shocks but it seems like it's lower than it *should* be for stock. It also handles pretty well, not much body roll.

no, bad stuts do not have (if any) hydraulic pressure inside, so they just settle and make your car bumpier and also lower your car slightly due to the struts not able to regain the hydraulic pressure it needs to maintain a smooth ride with stock ride height.
