Hi
Can anybody tell me the correct standing height for the front and rear?

It has recently been adjusted by "Porsche specialist" but now all corners are at different!!

The fronts vary by 3/4".

Cheers Tim

As an approximate guide, the standard ride height (assuming 15" wheels fitted with std diameter tyres - eg 185/70 & 215/60 or 205/55 & 225/50) should be 25.5" front & 25" rear. These figures represent the distance from the ground to the highest point in the centre of the appropriate wheelarch.

Mark - unless you're running on 12" Fuchs (!!) I don't hink that your ride height can be anywhere near 19"

Way too low! crank it up another 6 inches!
