    Yep

    Have a look in under the guard. If you can't see the spring just jack the car up a little. If your springs are black there is a very good chance they are standard.

    When my bread is green the loaf needs replacing....

    the same could apply to shocks maybe? :)

    Yeah I think a proper suspension test is the only real way to tell.

    Re: Yep

    My shocks are red. Does that mean they aren't stock? I thought they were otherwise the car would have been lower.....

    I was talking about springs...

    Having aftermarket shocks & stock springs will not lower your ride height.
