1/2 inch lowered?

I have an 05 ss/sc and my friend, scythesnake, has an 07 ss/sc. We noticed while taking some pictures that my car just seemed a bit low compared to his. I thought it was just the low profile wing that made it seem lower. I then decided to take out the tape measure. On the same road which was fairly flat and even my car sat at 7 inches even from the ground to the front bumper. Scythe's was exactly 7 1/2 inches, basically a half inch higher. I did buy my car used and I dont really know what was done, or maybe the 05 just sits lower. What do you guys think?

same wheels? same tires? tread? etc. 1/2 can be the difference between new tread and old tread.

ur springs are older they have a bit of a sag factor...his is brand new springs brand new...its like overfilling ur car with weight..theres a certain amount the springs can take before they don't go back to their origional height
