I just got my '88 convertable last weekend.
and I discovered I cannot go within 2 blocks of my grandmothers house because of the damn road humps they installed last month.

if the car is at stock height, then we are going to bitch and yell at the homeowners association, but I will have no case if it has been lowered.

how can I tell if it is lowered??
can I measure the distance from the ground to thew fenderlip??

here is the best pic I have of the profile.


BTW--I switched the wheels around the day after I got it.

 

it's hard to tell by the black shawdo between tires and fenders. but I'd say that is lowered.

 

 

It is hard to tell but I'd also have to say that I think that its been lowered

 

my guess is the suspension is sagging because of age... :/ Lowering springs might be able to be instaleld without a heigth change

 

measure from the ground to the fenderlip, stockers are around 25" up front and like 26" out back, give or take

 

it looks dropped.. it looks like ur butts saggy. maybe its a chop job?

 

maybe the springs are weak and have sunk some.

 

I have teh same question

 

agidius....I would say its lowered...but im not sure about SOIA its looks more along the lines of old susp up front..the way it sags down like that.....maybe the ground just isnt level......oh well.....Andrew

 

It looks stock to me. If I remmember Ill take a picture of the cars heght with a mesuring tape.

 

my car looks the same like yours, ..lol.....that`s dope

 

SOIA no your car is not lowered...it`s stock hight

 

^^ What I was gonna say.

 

okay, I measured the fenderlips and it is 25" front and 26" rear.

so I guess it is stock height, and the shadow makes it look lowered??

 

huh strange cause my friend had a gxl and there was a lot bigger gap between the fenders and the tires, but then again it was a 2+2 and I suppose they have different suspension

got pics mali?

 

try to get a pic with light from behind you so there are no shadow on the wheels fro the pic i'd say it looks lowered since the gap between the wheel and wheeelwell is so small
