I'm afraid as standard it's 90mm, which is 10mm lower than a standard C2/C4.
There is an option to specify it 20mm lower with the sports suspension (i.e. 70 mm clearance, GT3 style) but I've not seen one that low and it doesn't seem a common option.

Bear in mind that the aero kit reduces clearance at the front even more, even though the suspension is unchanged. The front lip juts out more and is lower.

As standard, speed bumps are OK as long as you take it steady (walking pace) although ramps require some care, like driveways, forecourt entrances where you cross the pavement, etc. The standard front lip is softish and easily replaceable (4-6 screws), if you do scrape it.
If you parallel park, then stop short since the front is lower than the kerb and will hit it.

I don't think the Aerokit splitter is lower than standard, just extends a bit more as you say, and therefore more vulnerable on ramps. I never had any trouble with mine "" except when I hit a rabbit!

After some very exciting apex bends in switzerland I decided to replace my front lip and it cost in the area of £112.00 plus 0.5hr fitting plus said screws/rivets. So no lost arms and legs for that bill.

How low is a GT2 then?

At least 20mm lower than a Turbo...eek!!!

It should be 70mm, but the front lip is slightly different. It may be a couple of mm lower.

It can be specified with competition springs. Not sure if this makes it lower still, or if they are just harder.
