i was wondering about that ... it looks surprisingly high
Open in new window


it has tall tires 185-60R14 which are 0.9" taller than the original 12" tires. That should raise the car about 1/2 inch. It still look higher

the springs look stock and there are no lowering blocks

compared to my sedan with stock 12" tires

perhaps the springs were sagging bit due to age

here's my sedan with STOCK suspension but with smaller than stock tires. 2.7" smaller in diameter which lower the car about 1-3/8 inch.

lower, but they don't fill out the wheelwells as much as the stockers

also wondering if the bright paint of the wheelwells makes it more obvious

Perhaps painting the wells black would make it look lower, or (as my car) dingy old wheelwheels look dark in photos
