New to me R50 Cooper - lowered?

[PKLD]

Picked up this '55 Mini Cooper in my favourite colour combo as a stop gap car to replace my old Volvo V70! But it's tight as a nut and not bad for 12 years and 117k... but is it lowered? No mention of it but it sits very well for something standard:

Looks a bit low to me.

Rear looks a little down on standard, front less easy to tell, maybe not.

Could also be a final coil broken on the rear springs, or even "sports plus suspension".

Have you checked the vin online to see if it has "sports plus"?

[PKLD]

Just checked the VIN and yeah it lists Sports suspension plus (and it has the chilli pack) so maybe it's a touch lower.

My main car is a Nissan Leaf so I'm actually enjoying the contrast between soft and quiet EV and bouncy hard rough petrol!

Bad news today though: what I hoped would be a re-gas turned out to be a buggered air con compressor and pipes so I need to source a replacement unit pronto - safe to source an eBay compressor and pipes?

It's definitely lower than standard IMO, even with SS+
