can't figure out if my car is lowered or not... dont have access to a lift or time to do it on jacks rite now... so any help would be much appreciated... to me it looks lowered then again i'm not sure...

 

lol. btw are those LED lighting in your tail?

..did you install springs? or are you just asking randomly if your car looks lowered for no specific reason? if you installed springs you should know I cant tell though o.o

 

sorry bout the badpics but kinda just happened out of nowhere.

 

na they arent leds.... no i'm asking because i bought the car used and never found out if it was lowered, the stock rims look just about right at te fenders and i figure stock cars always had speed gap... any can tell if its lowered?

 

Looks lowered to me. Do you have Brembo's with Touring rims? Is it a Track model with the Touring/Performance rims, or is it a Touring model that has been upgraded with Brembo's?

 

Looks lowered to me but not much. Can you take a pic of your NISMO intake for me, I need to see where the filter sits before I make a purchase. Thanks.

 

yea no prob i'll take a pic of the CAI tomorrow afternoon... yea i think its been lowered before... any other people out there wanna give there opinion?

BTW- my car is a TRACK model with performance rims.

 

I actually am in the same situation as JDMFairlady21, bought the car used and was wondering if it was lowered. With stock 17 inch rims on an 03 ent model i have barely enough room to slide my hand between the tire and the fender. No digital camera at the moment but can anyone help?

 

i can answer that for you. The car is right around 5 inches off the ground. So grab a ruler.

Your best bet is to get the jack out and lift the car high enough so you can see the rear spring. (you guys probably know this)

Most aftermarket springs will have either a brand name or serial code printed somewhere. Stock Spring is black but some aftermarket springs are black as well, like the Eibachs (with some metallic flakes in the coat).

People can tell you your car is lowered or not but it's pretty important that you're absolutely SURE about your suspension. I know you mentioned you don't have a jack or time, but it's a good idea to know your spring rates and how much your is actually lowered by identifying the brand.

The previous owner could have lowered it and not correct the camber etc. I know this is an extreme case, and the pictures don't look like it, but the last thing you want is abnormally worned tires.

 

usually very hard to tell by just looking at pics because of the angulation and all, but it does look like its been lowered a bit.....how much wheel gap do u have? how many fingers?

 

Damn thats a pretty color....sorry didnt meant to ***** the thread...but now that you mention it, it does look lower than stock...

 

thanks for the color compliment... i'll try to jack up the car this weekend, feels like hotchkis springs since the car doesnt have that much hop when hitting bumps at the rear, also i only have about maybe a finger of wheel gap if any.

 

looks lowered.

 

anyone know the tell tale signs of hotchkis springs? i dont know for sure...

 

other than a good visual..i wouldnt have a clue...sorry

 

if u only have about a one finger gap, then you are most likely lowered... unless you have very fat fingers

 

do you mind measuring the bottom of thefront bummper to the ground on your car? also the rear bumper to the ground as well? i really think that the car might be lowered with hothckis springs since it isnt so low. i'd realy apprecaite it..

 

You can't look through the spoke and see the rear spring?

If the spring is silver-aluminum looking then good chance it is Hotchki's.

 

It looks lowered. You may want to check and see if all four springs have been changed. Did you want it lowered in the first place?
