Default Whose C8 / is it lowered?

I Google image searched but can't find an answer. Would like to know if this is stock height or, if lowered, by how much? MRR Wheels didn't know when I asked.

Edit: Found a dead-on side shot:

Found another image from the shoot. Does this height really look stock? I notice in some of the photos above, the ground is uneven causing the suspension to tilt and vary the wheel gap per corner. Whereas this ground looks level:

I dont think it's lowered and if it is, it's just on stock collars or limited drop.
Here is mine on Paragon springs and collars, not all the way down.

@NAVY_LDO @sleekvt to be apples to apples your shots need to be eye level at the wheel wells so you can peer straight into them instead of looking slightly down from the top of your cars. The blue car's tread is uniformly visible throughout the tire circumferences whereas I see more of the tops of your treads and roofs/nacelles/hatches/curved top edges of your frunks. Blue car was likely shot kneeling eye level at the belt line but yours appear shot standing up, shrinking your wheel gaps in perspective. Beautiful cars though.

I don't think it is lowered either. The stance (wheel clearance) looks stock. Mine is lowered 0.75" all around and looks like this:

Hard to say when one side looks dropped and other side is monster trucking because one corner's wheel was parked angled into a shallow gutter:



The side shot I updated above might be more telling.

AG Motorsports has worked with that car so I emailed them and they seem to remember it's been lowered.

Two shots of my car - one before lowering and one after.
Before:



After lowering 0.5" in the rear and 0.75" in the front.
