I bought the car like this and thought it was stock height. Always thought it was a little weird that the doors could barely clear the sidewalk and the front bumper barely clears the concrete turtarrier in parking lots.

take a picture of the springs in the front and rear. your car doesn't look low at all but it's been a long time since I was stock height.

looks like stock to me.

You can see the spring is black in the 2nd pic, so it cant be an H-Tech

I can only fit 2 in the back, but almost 3 in front.

Sorry if the pics are bad, I'm using a camera phone and I'm in a dimly light garage.

Front

unless it was a swap from a Z, you're stock. I personally don't know how to tell if it is a revised Z setup or not, but that looks stock.

I'll second the comment on un-cut rear spring mounts.

Springs look stock as well.

I believe my springs to be stock, and I can say that I have parked at many places only to see my front bumper a few mm's above the concrete stop. If I had an OEM lip (or lip of any kind) it would surely take some damage

Having said that, I've always thought that in stock form, these cars have a decent stance compared to others in its class.
