Anyone know the difference in ground clearance between a 95 Z28 and a C5.

Anyone know, I'm hoping it is at least a difference of 1.5 inches.

I have always wanted to lower my car but their is a large speed bump I have to make it over. I have seen a C5 droptop go over the bump and just drag the front spoiler and maybe a little frame. I figure if hit the speed bump at an angel I should be ok.
