Default Ride Height

I recently purchased a 2000 Corvette, moving up from a 93, and the previous owner had lowered the front so much that it was difficult to drive it over anything higher than a marble. I have since raise it back up but I don't have any specifications as to what the factory settings were for the front and back. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Also with the change in height would you recommend an alignment?

Before lowering my 2000 Coupe it measured from fender arch to ground;
27-1/2" frt & 28-7/8" rr.

Thanks for the measurements. I'll check what I have and then get the alignment.
