Ride height and front to back balance, Rear currently sits about 1/2-3/4" lower than front Options

[DRPHIL914]

couple questions and looking for guidance on solution-

currently here is what is on the car -

Rear: has new sport bilistien shocks and new 100# springs. spring perches are set right in the middle currently, 4th from the bottom, i think there are 3 more slots above that.
Front: i have no idea- stock shocks etc, seem fine and no need to change them out. have not check to see if ride height etc is where it should be.

I just completed putting all new 5 lug on front and back, with new calipers, brake lines, bearings etc etc., but now am going to put new turbo tie rods on. Once this is complete i was going to take it to local shop to have alignment done. They are fully familar with all older 911 air cooled , owner has a bunch of his own, so i guess he should be familar with the adjusting proceedure for the height balance?
- i could move the rear spring perches up one or two spots but then it may make it a bit bouncy-more spring than shock.

anyway any advice and direction also for threads that show how to measure these things would be helpful.

Been a while but I think I read (in haynes?) or this site, set the front so the control arm is horizontal, then set the back level or slightly higher or lower depending on the look you want. The height will affect your camber so you need to do it prior to your alignment. Also, drive it around before final set as it will settle.

i remember reading that somewhere too, so i figured after driving about some i would recheck, and if they are horizontal, just leave it as is. As someone else mentioned it being a stock set up so i will probably leave it if so, but i will take your advice, before getting the alignment, drive it around the neighborhood a bit. I'll be replacing the tie rods anyway so i knew i would have to do the balancing and front and rear alignments, but i'm hoping it will be fairly close. I now have taller tires so it just looks different with the 14" fuchs and 195/65's than it did with 15" empi /50's.(in a good way).
