Does this look lowered?

[JerryL]

Can anyone tell me if this is lowered? it looks a bit lower than my last MR2 but could just be wishful thinking since I am planning to replace with lowered springs.

It doesn't look lowered to me.

Have you got a full pic of the car? Might be easier to see if its lowered or not more clearly.

It kinda does seem slightly lower than stock ride height to me but thinking it might just be the close up picture giving it that look.

Full side view.

What's the mileage?

Banana had a stock suspension refresh last year and rose about 10-15mm after the tired components were replaced. I was quite surprised at the difference.

[JerryL]

Could be a bit tired, it's 100K but not sure I have all the service history.

as Ossy said, much clearer with a full side pic - definitely looks lowered to me

This is my car with 30mm drop Teins -  before (top pic) / after (bottom pic)





Even with the Teins the front on mine still doesn't look that lowered (after 4000 miles - may drop further in time) it's the rear where it is most obvious.

Pop a wheel off and have a good look at the springs. if they're black then most likely stock  - any other colour and I'm pretty sure they will be aftermarket.

They are black I think under the dirt, but they are TTE springs by the look of it, so I would presume lower?

They be lowering springs. Believe it's 30mm all around on the TTEs but someone will confirm that. They are non progressive as well. Look at them in comparison to teins and you'll see how they differ.
I've had mine a while and think they do the job. New shock may be in order at that mileage though. Made a world of difference on mine for about £150 For all four corners.

[JerryL]

Thanks for the info. What did you get for £150 for all 4 corners?
