    67 911s ride height

    Hello, I need to set up a 67S stock ride height. Can someone give me the numbers measured at the fender wells? Is there a diffence on a EURO car?
    Thanks,
    Peter

    I think it's generally not recommended to set the ride height by the coachwork on these cars as there seems to have been considerable variations in their shape and fit.
    The numbers I've seen are wheel center to torsion bar center: wheel center 108mm above torsion bar center in the front and wheel center 12mm below torsion bar center in the back (36 degrees spring plate angle). These values are for an unloaded empty car.

    The numbers given by mikael above are correct for a street car according to the workshop manual. I have a PDF of the procedure archived on one of my websites if you would like to access it here:

    Keep in mind that setting ride height should be part of an alignment and corner balance procedure, and that these settings are not absolute. For competition, many people deviate from the factory settings substantially, and ride height might be lowered.
