My car seems to sit 1 1/2 to 2" lower than some older 912's I have seen. Do the LWB cars normally sit a little lower than the SWB cars ??
Thanks,

I don't believe so. That could be an optical illusion due to the LWB rear fender change since the SWB rear is not flared. Then again, that may be why they flared the LWB. All the 912's look like they sit higher due to not having the large 911 muffler behind and under the engine. The muffler on the 912 is up higher. I know that the European delivered cars sat lower the way Porsche built them to sit. The US required they sit higher.
