OP, looks good... definitely lowered. Get coil-overs if you want to go lower.
Your attention span stopped a little short. I said it likely would have red springs based on the color combo of the car. I know that not all springs are red, I used to have some. There are varieties of heights ranging from 1"-1.5" and yes some are red and some are black and some are other colors.

Getting springs in a color to color match your car is about the stupidest thing you can do... just saying.

Going off the color of your springs to determine whether your car is lowered or not is even dumber...

My car is 5 3/4 from ground to rocker panel. bout an inch and 1/2 from top of rear tire to fender well.... ive got 305/35/20 on rear and front is 285/35/20 It looks like my rear tire is larger maybe its not lowered.
I have installed a 1LE splitter on the front since the previous pictures posted. and it is 5 inches from the floor in my garage

My springs look black in front and back

Good catch! my car's Vin is 2013 SS2. It was stolen and stripped to the chassis when it was 6 months old. I bought it salvage title after it was rebuilt. It was rebuilt with 2014 front cap and rear cap. it has ZL1 "suede" interior. NPP exhaust. The vacuum servos are not attached and left open. I think it has the ZL1 Brakes..

Are the ZL1 springs different from the SS? does anyone know?

Not disagreeing that color matching is a little unnecessary since they really aren't visible. However, if you see red springs it is a 100% guarantee that they aren't factory and nearly 100% chance that they are lowering springs. Not so dumb. How much lowered, color says 0 about that.

No worries, brotha. No disrespect intended... understand what you're saying. Just thought I'd point out what I pointed out for those who're looking for more info on this.
