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.
