Default am i lowered? pics and height measurements inside...

the front from ground to top of wheel well is about 26 3/4" and the rear is about 27 1/2" to 28" this is with the stock 16" rims and tires.

it looks relatively low to me (maybe lowered an inch, maybe not), but there aren't alot of formulas running around here to compare my car to.

car is a 1996 Firebird Formula NON-1LE.

Do the springs have tags on them or look stock. 26" readings would be some form of lowered.

springs appear as if they are coated black, showing no rust, but no tags on them. unless they were coated black from the factory.

are there aftermarket non-lowering springs that would be coated?

it doesnt really matter to me if they are lowered, i was just more or less curious.
