Where to measure for Height
 
Where do I measure at to see where my car rides at? Euro or US spec.

Dan I always thought the 911 was supposed to be lower in the front, therefore the nose down attitude, but I could be wrong.

I will measure mine tommorrow, its 12:30AM here, gotta go to bed,

For the nose-down attitude, you still will have a taller fender lip measurement in front. That's because the front opening needs to be larger, since the front wheels are the ones that do the turning.

25.5 front, 25 rear is considered Euro height by Bruce Anderson, if my memory serves.

The factory specs for ride heigth are given as the difference in heigth between the center of the wheel hub, and the center of the torsion bar. Using the fender lip as a reference is common, but can be inaccurate due to variations in manufacturing.
