WTH is going on with my ride height

after checking out some posts about front suspensions, I went and checked out my ride height. Here are the results
Rear both sides 25.5 in
Front, driver 25 in BUT the pass side, 25.75 in!
I don't see any bad effects from this, but I'm curious about what effects there might be.

Now my driveway isn't perfectly level, but reasonably so.

What do you guys think?

Has the car been corner balanced?

The reason I ask is that correctly corner balanced cars may not be the same side to side.

If it handles fine and tracks straight, I wouldn't worry about it. You could raise the DS .75 or lower the PS to match.

I would go for somewhere in the middle. This small amount of adjustment SHOULDN'T make a big difference in handling or tire wear.

My 911 is about ..25 inch higher on the DS. When I get in the car it pretty much levels out.

consider the weight of the driver too. the driver side should be slightly higher on the driver side. take your measurements with someone in the driver seat.
