I just bought a 01 coupe lx, and I think the car's previous owner might have lowered it but i'm not sure. I bought it from a dealership so the salesman didn't know. Is there an easy way to tell if a car's been lowered?

take a peek at the springs on the struts most aftermarket springs are different colors.. except for the eibach pro-kit.. those are black, as well. You wouldn't be able to take a picture of your wheel to fender clearance, would you? If you post that up, I (or someone else on these forums) may be able to tell you

Ya just jack your car up and take off your tire and check. Like he said almost all aftermarket springs are different colors and some of them even put the brand stamped on them.
