Default Has this car been "dropped"?

I am bored at work and doing some google image search on scion tc. Here are some of the nicer looking pics I find.

(pics are named "scion tc pic something something")

Has this show car been modified? for some reason it looks nicer than most of the other pics of tC I've seen. If it's been dropped, by how much is it lowered? It looks very nice and I'll try to match the number of inches to drop when I get my car.

I dont think so. It does appear that it has been lowered, but I think its just the angle of the shot.

It's an old pic, from before the car was released. Most people on the board agree that when the production cars showed up, they were actually higher than the show cars. The TRD springs drop the car just a little lower than those initial cars. So no, it hasn't been dropped, it just had a non-production suspension on it that was alittle bit lower than the later production version.
