is my car lower than stock? (haven't modded it yet)

After being on the forums for a while and looking through pictures of cars, some lowered and some stock height, I feel like my car is lower than average. It looks about an inch or so lower than stock. I'm the second owner of the car (08 used base coupe). Just curious. I haven't gotten under the car to look and see if there are any springs or coils but dealer said it might be from factory, but i think that that's very unlikely. I have no idea. What do you guys think?

Gotcha. Thanks guys, just curious. These are pretty low for stock its crazy (in a good way). Coming from a 2002 Lexus RX 300 that was like 5 times higher, bumps meant nothing. Now, its a whole new world.

Looks perfect the way it is too. 30% of owners lower the car far more than is practical to.

So thats what it's called huh? It hits me every time I see something different on the car.
Thanks! Thought I'd get a color you don't see too often.

a lot of members just lower their car low enough just to get rid of that monstrous wheel gap. if you're ever in the market for lowering springs i have a set sitting in my garage. i'm local to you too.

Not sure if that's what it's called but that's what I call it :P

White is the color I wanted, would have gotten a white g37 base but ended up with a graphite g37 just because it had all the packages including sport for the same price.

The paranoia hit me too, I actually thought my car was higher than stock at first :P

On the sedans, I would assume it would be the same on the coupes, the non-sport model has less of a gap between the tire and the wheel well than the S and a lot less then the X models.
