Arrow New Cobra owner with questions

Hello fellow Stanger’s
I’ve owned a 95 LX for 8 years, just loved the car. Now I graduated to a 96 Cobra.
Two questions here:
Suspension height. I don’t know if the suspension was lowered. From the center of the wheel bottom fender to the ground: front 26.5”, rear 27”, On 245/45-17 tires. Is this standard?
Secondly, on first start up of the day, the engine revs at 2200 rpm then drops to 900-1000 rpm after 2-3 seconds, is this normal for a Cobra?

Im not to sure about the measurements, but does the wheel gap look like a 4x4? Stock, our cars looked like tanks. You should be able to tell if it was lowered pretty easily just by your eye. The startup thing is probably normal.. When the IAC is operating when you first start it it will raise revs for a moment or two..

I sent you a PM so check your inbox

i don't know if 2200 for 2-3 seconds is normal. are you exagerating a little? mine will rev up to about 1700 for half a second ant then drops to right at 1k for a few seconds and as it warms up, slowly drops to 800-850 within a minute.
