It's slightly lowered on stock bolts. I had originally lowered it all the way on stock bolts, however I was scraping my driveway as well as all the other angled access roads here in Florida. It drove me nuts, plus the ride was a little harsher than I wanted so I raised it up to a little bit, but not quite back to the original height. I also added Koni shocks and Z06 sway bars so the car corners like it's on rails!
