Default How to know if it’s lowered

After reading different posts about lowering your Vette i decided to check mine. 2000 Convertible M6 there is 2” from top of tire to bottom of front wheel well is this the standard or has it been lowered. What should the clearance be in the front from ground to air damm. Thanks, I would not want it any lower but not sure what is stock.

Thanks I wasn’t sure as there is only about 1 1/2”-2” from the Air damm to the ground
