Default Lowered Grand Sport ? ? ?

Bought my 2012 GS in 2014. It appears lower than others that I have seen at a distance. How can I determine if it was in fact lowered by the previous owner?

Should measure somewhere close to 26 1/2" front, 28 1/4" rear, at the center of wheel wells with proper lbs and level floor, at least that's what mine was.

I think it might be lowered slightly, but not much. I've seen many C6's lowered much more than that.

Looks like my GS and mine is stock so i'd be willing to say it has not been lowered

I lowered mine, it is hard to tell from pics, but to me, it looks stock height. Mine is a lot lower. Very easy to adjust if you wanted to. But I have seen some GSs slammed here. Yours looks normal, from your pics.

I love lowered cars, but I can't do that here I'm already scraping at stock height. NY roads are not conducive to a lowered vehicle. Nice looking ride though.

I have a '13 Grand Sport, and after taking a good, long, look at your car - it looks just about right, as is !!

By the way..........she's "pretty !!"
