is my RX-7 lowered??
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.

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
