Civic EG

So I bought this car used and the guy said he had dropped it 2-3 inches already he had put 18's on it. So after about a year I get tired of the 18's rubbing so I get 13s for a more sporty type look the only problem is that there is a 4 in gap between the tire and the rear fender and a 3 in gap in the front and the car is about 8 in off the ground from the bottom of the sideskirt.

So Is my car dropped already or what it sits pretty low It seems, I dont want to buy a 2-3 inch drop setup only to find out im already dropped.

what tire size are you using for the 13inch rims?

165/70/13 is the stock tire size and that should the basic on how to see if you are lowered or not. Judging by the gap, its a high possibility you are not. Also a quick way to tell is look in your suspension springs. If they are the same color as your fenders its a high chance they are original factory springs.

also pics would help but it doesnt sound like its dropped
