OMG! It's silly to adjust the anti-roll bars based on getting what you might think is the right amount of front tire "air".
What you should be doing is adjusting the anti-roll bars to get the chassis balance the way you need it to be to get the most out of the car. That may mean more or less air under the tire than you think is ideal. In other words, you never need to look at the how high the front tire is off the ground to when deciding on anti-roll bar adjustments. Those decisions are based solely on how the chassis is handling on the particular course and day.
In the OP's case, it is good to ask if it is a problem and what can be done to reduce the "issue". It's also good to understand why it happens. It is a fundamental issue with the 911 package...especially when the rear tires are not much wider than the fronts.
One question I have NEVER heard at the race track from a 911 driver when discussing chassis setup is: "Hey, how high is my front inside tire off the ground?"

I have someone watch my car and then tell me how far I'm off the ground. (Today they can take a picture with an iPhone)
I would then adjust the front or rear bar (usually the front) to get the correct amount of lift.
Here I'm just slightly off the ground. That's pretty ideal.
There's a reason we all spend a bunch of money on adjustable sway bars. It's a lot easier to change sway bar settings than it is to swap out torsion bars.
