Default Ride height

The new to me '09 seems to scrape a little easier than my previous c6. I'm wondering if it has been lowered.
Can anyone measure the height to the top of the front and rear wheelwell of a stock c6?

My 2007 has been lowered, and I have to watch closely going through dips, and over speed bumps. Have to go through at an angle. From the ground to the fender opening in the front is 25 1/4" In the rear it's 27 1/4" .... I hope this helps....

Are those stock height measurements before you lowered, or measurements after you lowered?

Hey Glenn, here's what I found to be average for the narrow body and where I set mine.
