What is up with this cars suspension?

[cjgower]

I've Been considering looking at this car after the last 172 Cup I purchased turned out to be a dog. This one seems good and it's quite close to me but what is up with its suspension!?
Is it just me or does it look like it has been raised up by two or three inches. The arch gap seems a little crazy....

The rear looks relatively normal, but the front seems way too high - perhaps replaced with wrong springs or something?

Those arch gaps look huge to me , front and rear .penmouth:

Maybe they've just had the wheels off etc & it's not settled yet ?

Better off buying on here than from a dealer

Too used to seeing lowered Cups / Sports.

It does look high but if you Google standard ones its about right by comparison.

Not bad. Would look better with Turinis though.

Aftermarket springs. Mine looked Like that on one side until I put a genuine cup spring on. No paint marks and it's not a Renault spring. One yellow and one white I think is 172 cup.
