Default New to me C6 in Houston

Hey all! So I just picked up a C6 so it is "New to me" but I am actually the 5th owner. I am in Houston, TX. I will love it and treat it just as great or better than the past owners. I noticed the car was on here owned by at least one other member. 'JoKo' but they have not been active in a long time. I notice it said it was lowered 1".

Question for anyone who might be familiar with lowering. How was that done? Part Changes? Modification? I feel like it is lower. I am assuming no one ever brought it back to stock height. Any way for me to tell that it still is lowered 1" ?

oh by the way. My other car is Silver and this one will be changed to silver also so that explains the name. And yes this one is quick and will be getting quicker.
