Stock is usually around 28" depending on tire size.

For this "quick and dirty" discussion, that's what I used also. In reality, GM uses either the rocker panels or the inner pivot bolts of the lower control arms.

The last combination I installed using our BMR lowering springs and Koni shocks set the car at 26 1/8" up front and 26 1/2" in the rear. Now there is a little variance from car to car but it shouldn't be too much.
