Drop springs

How do I determine if I have drop springs? I've driven other 2012 SS Camaros and this one that we decided on rides like a darned lumber wagon.

look at the springs. Stock are black, most drop springs are a different color.Also stock will sit high, drop springs will have about 2 fingers distance between thectire and fender lip

This. Aftermarket springs are usually red or gray and have a logo or part number on them.

This is a pretty good indicator of Aftermarket Springs. If you are still not sure you could probably post up pictures and quite a few people on this site should be able to tell if you have drop springs.
