What is the stock ride hight?

[doug684]

Well I got my Eclipse a few months ago and noticed it's quite a rough ride. When I hit bumps it bounces hard. And rail road tracks feel like it's tearing the car apart. When going down the interstate and hit a bump the car will try to shoot off side ways when coming "down" from the bump. Here is a quick picture I snapped. The front tires are Kumho Ecsta 711 225/45/R17 and the rear is a Kumho 711 Ecsta 215/45//R17 (Tire shop put the wrong one on).

EDIT: Picture removed

When I got the car they had just put the new Kumhos on the front. I had a flat and replaced the drivers rear with a Kumho, but the tire shop put the 215 back on it after I told them not to.

Yes I know it's dirty, I cleaned it after I took this one and it's all black (painted). So any thoughts?

They don't look like aftermarket springs/dampers to me. Maybe stock springs cut down? Doing that usually delivers lousy handling characteristics.

would it do this if my shocks were bad?
