Don't know exactly - thought I explained this in the 1st post but it wasn't clear. I've had the car < year and wasn't able to speak to the original owner (long story). I called the dealer & gemballa and couldn't get any info about the suspension. I have orignal dealer reciepts which show cost for Gemballa suspension, stut bar, exhaust, & pedals but no specifics. I would never have paid a dealer that kind of $ or even replaced the strut bars. It looks like the sport suspension, which is adjustable so eventually I'll take it to take it to a tuner and spring for the adjustment & alignment.
I was interested if anyone else purposely set the rake on their car like mine because everything I see is slightly foward.

Just don't over-do the adjustment or you car may end up looking like this!

Hard to help you if we dont know what you got.....no...no reason to set it like that....It look sodd to me, but US regulations have a height requirement for the front bumper so the front of US Porsche's are higher in the front, but thats only for US regulations...
