Default What springs do I have

After getting the car in January I've been trying to decide if the car is lowered or not. The car doesn't look like a 4x4 but I figured it was because the car came with a taller tire (wrong size) over the stock ones. But after comparing it to my moms new edge, my total tire hight is taller however the hight of my wheel well is lower. The springs are black, but other than that how would I know exactly what I have? Is there a serial number on the springs that I could look at?

I'll put picks up tomorrow btw...

why do you need an extra set of rims? You should be fine with what you have.

I wanted to get a set of summit stars 15x8 in the back (275/60R15 tire) and 15x4 in the front (155/80R15 tire)
Do those sizes sound correct?

sure. I wouldn't say that they are "needed" for your setup. That is a lot of money for minimal gains (at your current level), they will look good though.

yea if your sidewall on your tire i bigger than the stock ones then yes there will not be a smaller gap between the tire and fender. i had to put a 2 tires on the back of my car 235/50/17 i believe and it didnt have that much of a gap, but when i got my new rims/tires that were the right size i had a bigger gap. and if you want a good tire for the track just get 2 rims off of a v-6 mustang (15" tire) and thow on a m/t et street on them 235/60/15 and that is all you will need.
