i think your right, the body kit gives it a lowered look.

I personally like that set up. Because it gives you the lower look with the kit and wheels but you still have the stock height and comfort.

I don't think it's stock because the wheel gap looks pretty even front and back. The front usually has a bigger gap.

i think the rims are not cool,,, not a fan of those style of rims at all... they look like oversized hubcaps that have been laminated. but the drop of course, i would have to say stock cuz mine is about the same with stock..

Stock height, look at the wheel to fender arch gap.

Comfort is overrated. Stock sucks. Drop that sucker.

only the bottom of the bumpers and skirts looks lower. You can't hide that huge gap on the fenders. I think a car with aftermarket wheels and not lowered is now add a kit to the equation. That's just
