Lowering Question

I had rear tires off...... ready to start lowering process, when I noticed that I only have about 3-4 threads showing on the bolt, everything I read said I should have 1 to 1-1/2 inched showing............ It has not already been lowered, thats for sure .......... Any ideas ......

You're right, it already looks lowered some. Should look like this stock

I don't have any other ideas other than its already lowered (are you the original owner?), but heres a bump for you.

Anyone got pix of the FRONT lowering bolt, and how many threads should still be there (when fully lowered on stock bolts)?

Thanks for the pics, that is what I thought they should look like, I am not original owner, but it is not lowered as you can see, I might just have to get longer bolts.......... Anyone know what size they are, I'm sure their grade 8 bolts .........

When I went to lower mine I notice the rear Passenger side bolt was like that but the drivers side was normal. The car sits level and drives stright. Needless to say I didn't lower mine.
