Default Is this car dropped?

Plan on purchasing this car at a dealership a couple of hour away and wanted to see if this car is dropped from the pictures?

And do you like the color? lime green? haha ill probably repaint it in the future but it will have to do for now...

Yeah, it's dropped. Why look into a modded car like this? I'd try to find a stock one since you never know about the quality of work.

It's possible, but it looks low still. I'm guessing your typical spring install.

This seems higher with more wheel gap:

Yea, its pretty modified. But it does have some nice and expensive moded pieces, such as seibon CF fenders, apr CF side mirrors, and 04+ front and rear bumper with the CR lip. I just dont want to buy a dropped car...

If it's close, just check the spring color... pretty sure if it isn't black then it'll be modified... it should at least have the name etc.

Is there a big difference in comfort between driving a stock s2000 and a dropped one?

Hope the price is right. Personally I'd check it out real carefully, little things bother me, like the mismatched lug nuts, missing valve stem cap, scuffed tires. Makes me wonder how it was cared for.
