LOOK at the srings. Chances are if the car is sitting high and the springs are black, they're stock. Measure from the ground the the fender. My measurements from my dads stock MR are 27" front and 26" rear +/- 1/8" or so. Depends on how the car is sitting and weight and such.

As if you do any sort of searching, you'll find that when you lower Evo's too much (being more than 1.3 inches from stock) you're going to sacrifice handling for looks.

Do you have any idea what your current suspension setup is? Maybe you could post a picture?

i think the rear is a little lower with stock springs.

Personally I would just research for the springs that have the look you want.
