Could somebody help me find out what the correct ride height is for a 1970 911T?

My car looks a little high at the front as if it as about to pounce on something...

A good standard is 25.5" front, 25" rear. Measure to the arch lip from the ground at the wheel centre line.

some say he went to school with the Jeremy Clarkson
others that his passing resemblence to Harry Potter is more than just coincidence!!

Whatever you believe do not doubt the power of the Stick. :albino:

joking aside 25.5 inches at the front 25 inches at the rear (Ground to wheel arch gives the correct Euro ride hight with 1 degree nose down). anything lower you should check this link out

http://www.rennlight.com/cgi-bin/spring.cgi

just done my rear, measure measure and measure. I also photoshoped a photo and scaled off the dimensions to check my calculations would equate to the visuals.

Now I just need to finish up a couple of other jobs and then get the car out to let the suspension settle!!

Once you have set up your suspension you can check your work with that other vital piece of technology the ball of string.

So with the stick and a ball of string you can check
ride height
camber(you need superstick for this)
Toe-in
caster
remember changing one will always affect the others so

measure, adjust, and recheck and recheck again

You will also find a plumbers bob some clear plastic tubing and some water useful too for cheking front to back and corner to corner weight balancing.
