Default Is my car lowered?

I got it used with some mods on it like LG longtubes, VR intake, corsa pace car exhaust etc.

now I've been looking at some pics of other Zs and they seem to sit alot higher than my car, so this got me curious... is my car lowered and I just don't know about it?

Here are a couple pics to show the ride height











I don't want the car any lower then it already is. Wheter it's lowered or not. I already scrape everything as is, but I'm just curious if she's stock height or not

Compared to how My Z06 looked at Stock Height. I would say YES! Someone has lowered your Z.. Looks good that way!

I could almost Fit my Fist in between the rear tire and Fender before mine was lowered!

It does look to be lowered a bit. Mine sits a fair bit higher than that. I havent lowered mine because then I couldnt get into the parking lot at work (sharp incline entrance)

No wonder, my C6 is just 3/4 inches off the ground. My front radiator support is completely torn up that holds the intercooler to the Supercharger. Didn't realize the C5 and C6 bolts were different. Don't max out C6 bolts if you live in the city with extremely rough/old roads.
