Yeah thats dropped...its 1.6/1.8 for the monte. Its tough to tell its dropped though because the tires blend in with the fender gap in that picture because its long exposure...so it looks higher than it is right there. Plus I got new Sumitomo HRTZ3's (love them!) with a lower profile sidewall so the car is even lower now!

Thanks dom and Mel!

Actually, they are out now. After dealing with the company I bought them from after the halos burn out on the Passenger side and returning two different sets of lights, I'm done with their bullshit. One of them gets moisture inside and fogged up every single time you start the car, and when you wash the car, water automatically gets into each housing. The just shorted out on me one time and I gave up. The H3C output sucks too, because it is a foglight beam, not a headlight beam.

Anyway there's a set of 6K 35w DDM tuning HIDs in the stockers and 3K 35w DDM tuning HIDs in the fogs....pretty badass when both kits cost $35 and are slim ballast digitals with OEM connectors.

And Buff, two pictures that show my car a little bit lower:
