Ken with that much difference there is clearly something wrong with the shock assembly. You may have to go as far as removing both shocks and taking them apart to compare the unsprung spring length.
When fitting the shocks, the collars should be close to the same, it is quite possible that one of the perches or a spacer has not been installed correctly.
Who was the person that replaced the rear shocks??

Also measure the lower adjustment threaded collars to make sure they are slipped down on the shock tube ribs, sometimes one wont go down as far as the other, due to corrosion

Not sure this is helpful but as I am a noob I spent some time reading through the thread at the top of this forum....

Post # 11 by Randy V. has a good compilation of links to things relative to ride height for the 928. Might have some answers there. Was very helpful to me.

Something is wrong.

Have you checked the fronts? If the LF is overly high it'll require you to move the RR correspondingly high to balance it.
