Ride height - front vs rear

New to me 08Z purchased already lowered but looking to possibly raise the front. Does anyone know the stock front vs rear ride height when measured at the fender? I’m currently measuring front fenders at 26” and rear at 27.5”. Looking to possibly bring the front up a bit but trying to figure out what the stock rake is.

I understand that the difference is optimally 3/4" rake in SPEC corvette (racing)
Mine is 26.25" front, 27" rear....and looks right to me as reference

spec corvette is c5, fenders wouldn't be a good comparison. I measure rake along the frame rail (towing slots personally).. Also very common to run same diameter front/rear on track cars, which requires raising the rear a lot more to achieve rake. Just food for thought....
