Default factory suspension

I still have all factory suspension on my car but for some reason the car seems to sit lower than others. last night i got out of the car and the top of my rear tire was tucked in under the fender on both sides and i was on level ground, almost .25 of an inch! anybody know the reason for this?

as an optometrist I would say its perception based on the angle of the lighting or sun light. Measure it and its probably not changing. Its like when people say thier eyes turn different color when they are mad or in the sun. Its just not true
