With my C7 I have only hit bumps a few times. My question is this, what is the difference in clearance between the front on a C7 to a C8 Not sure if its worth the expense to buy the front lift Is the C8 that much lower than the C7
Published front end spec is the same. C8 has a little more front end overhang than the C7, but only by like an inch. Neither of them have the overhang a C5 has and I have never needed front end lift. Passed on it for my order.

There are 2 Threads about Front lift option currently, that will provide you with a reasonable idea of the C8 Front-end clearance. You should be able to see if there is a problem for you. There are picture(s) with measurement(s).
If you do a U-Tube search "2020 corvette front lift", you should be able to find a video of lift system in action. There will be a point in the 49-52 range into video that will let you decide if in your mind there will be a clearance issue.
Nose ride height difference between a C7 & C8, may not be the bigger problem!
