Asking for this dimension is like asking how long are the sleeves on everyone's shirt. Hardly any measurement has any value because, tire height, suspension condition, possible bad body work will be different among cars. If you are concerned about the ride height of your car you need the shop chassis manual. It has the diagram showing where to measure at various points, especially those of the frame which determines the engineered ride height. Dennis

I installed a ridetech streetgrip system on my 1964 and now if I measure from the ground to the lip of the fender it’s 24 3/4”. I was curious what others had for dimensions. I checked the corvette assembly manual and couldn’t find the spec. Thank you

I have the rear fender height at 25 1/4 and the front I have at 24 3/4 now. Sits nice , looks better at little lower. I like that the rear is just slightly higher than the front. May even help keep the nose down in higher speeds. Not that I would do that very often
