is my car dropped? I just picked it up and I feel like its lower, especially in the front end, than other Zs. Might just be me

 

Assuming it's an '07 with stock 18" wheels and tires, the distance from the top of the front wheel opening to ground should be 683mm, the rear should be 706mm.

 

thanks, just did the measuring and it came out to 666.75 mm in the front. I guess it is lowered..

 

Welcome. Difficult to tell from a photo. Look at the springs.

 

just crawl under the rear and take a pic of the springs. IMHO it doesn't look lowered

 

no its not lowered.

 

Is your car the same year with the same wheel size as Davesz#3 is talking about?. That car does not look lowered but there is nothing wrong with keeping the "drop illussion"

 

stock

 

I'm thinking normal. Specially, when a lot of aftermarket springs have more drop on the rears to level it out (I'm guessing).

 

That's a gigantic wheel gap in the rear. It looks more than stock.

 

wait. so by measurement, the car is dropped 2 inches? in the front and theres still so much wheel gap?

 

according to the specs and measurements, its a 5/8 inch drop in the front and 1/4 inch drop in rear, pictures dont justify...

 

Looks stock to me. I've got an 08 with the same wheels at stock height. Pics don't show a very good view of the wheel gap, but I think its close enough.

 

DAVEZ post is most likely the measurements given in the factory service manual. which if your car is like he says, then those should be the measurements...

its kinda silly for all of us to "guess" because thats about all we can do........you obviously own a camera, so if you want to "know for sure" then climb under the rear and take a pic of the spring, and do your best to take a pick of the spring/shock combo up front and then instead of guessing you can get a definite answer...

Pretty much the best way to tell is to look at your suspension and compare!

yeah.. ill try to do that. I took a quick look and everything looks stock. Better pics soon

 

looks like stock height to me. either way, nice color.
