A 78 911 track car with torsion bars. just put her on the scales and this is close to what I generally get. I check the R ride height at the lowest bolt on the trapezoid shaped torsion bar end plate and the F height I check from the 12mm bolt that secures the front cross member at either end. The rear heights are within a 1/16'' and the fronts are off 5/16'', higher on the left. Includes driver and fuel. The ride height discrepancy bothers me, but don't know what to do about it. It is mentioned in this post that closer weight is preferred in the front. Why is that as my assumption is that on this car most of the traction and all of the drive is controlled by the rear tires.
