Default ride height question



Hi I just bought this 99 z28 and I'm curious if it is lowered or not, it seems to sit lower than most other camaros I've seen. It has umi rear control arms and umi welded in sub frame connectors, the previous owner said he never lowered it but I figured it could have been before him. Maybe a dumb question but I figured someone could possibly tell by looking at it. Thanks, Matt

The front doesn't look lowered to me, but the rear looks like might be lowered slightly with the hose mod .

That's what I was thinking, the rear def looks lower than the front also depends on the angle, the front looks a lot higher in this pic. I would post more pics but its not letting me upload. Thanks for the reply

Check to see if the rear springs are sitting within the factory upper isolators.
