Has my car been lowered? Or is it saggy?

I know absolutely diddly about suspensions and lowering, but I noticed back when changing my oil that my car can't drive up onto those little ramps my dad has. He thinks it has been lowered, since the distance from tire to wheel well on top is shorter than tire to side of wheel well. It is definately lower than my Sentra. Is there any quick way to tell if I have saggy stock springs or aftermarket ones?

There is a lot of wheel gap there. It must be saggy or some other problem. BTW, I see your is silver like mine. What color are your seats they look tan in the picture ? And silver cars look good with windows tint ....

It is a tan/black interior. And yes, I know I need to tint it, just need to accumulate some cash first. It gets 110 F+ here in the summer, for months on end, and I want it tinted more than you do, trust me.

Well, it does "creak" in weather below 60F when going over bumps...Autozone says they are a bit old but not horrid. How high are G20s, stock?

I have no numbers on how high our cars are stock but I know it really doesn't sit too high compared to other newer imports. As for your problem, I think your struts and springs might be the prob. My car sat a "tiny" bit lower than my friend's 94t 'cause the struts were dead, I changed out everything last week (lower springs/ struts) so I really can't tell how high it should sit in stock form.

that care does NOT have a kit on it. it looks like it sits exactly like my P10 when I had it. And I too have tried to use those ramps when doing up my oil and neither my P10 or my P11 will get on the ramps and neither has a lowering kit on it. Both of them have had the bumper hit the ramps before the tires get to it....
