Ride height

My front suspension's set quite high and the back quite low. God knows what it's doing for my handling but I don't like the way it looks.

Ideally I'd lower the front to match the back but the reason it's high is because the front right caught the wheel arch when turning right into driveways on two occasions so it had to be highered to stop it happening.

Any thoughts on what my options are? Do I need to get stiffer front shocks if I want to lower it?

A number of threads on ddk exist. Front ride height (lowered European ride height - lowest recommended by Porsche for the street) is:

front - 25.5 inches - from the ground to the fender lip
rear - 25.0 inches - from the ground to the fender lip

This is the best guide. Check for the other links. If you want to see my car, which is set to this height, you are more than welcome.

Best

Ride heights, did somebody mention Ride hieghts. You've got yours all wrong at the moment - high at the back is the 'Norwich Look' (or it was!)

Take inspiration from this 4x4 at Le Mans my child!

So that's where I've been going wrong. It seems the quickest, simplest way for me to achieve 'the Norwich look' would be to drive everywhere in reverse. Will this affect my points tally at the Norwich concours?
