No, I am trying to figure out how my two cars are already lowered. I am
raising them back to stock. The spring pix that Alvin posted show me what the
correct spring looks like and I can compare that to what is on my car in an
effort to decide whether I have an incorrect spring, or if it has lost some of
its lift over time. When sitting on the ground both cars look lower than the
pictures I see of the stock height cars.
