Is there something about the 911 suspensions that we should set ride height at 1/2 instead of 1/3 travel?

I really don't know, which is why I've been requesting any one w/ new or old unmounted shocks and struts to make a few measurements
No joy so far
I'm in the market for new fronts so when I get them I'll do it.
off the top of my head every motorcycle I've owned, admittedly a small sample
1 Honda SL350
1 1970 Triumph Bonneville
1 Honda/Yoshimura 836, which had Koni rear shocks
all had quite a bit of compression travel and none were lowered so not really an apples to apples comparison
another factor w/ the OPs shocks is they are likely based on a B8 so already shorter than the usual B6 used in 911 front
