Default factory height setting?

What is factory height setting for 997.1 GT3?
Is it approximately 26 1/4 front and 26 3/4 rear?

I believe my car was 26 1/4 front and 27 1/4 rear before i lowered it about 1/2" with Damptronics. It is a 997.1. Don't know if the 997.2 is same or not.

Hi Kenin,

How did you measure the 26.25 and 27.25, e.g. from where to where? I'm trying to find if the height of my car was stock height...

My measurement wasn't very scientific. I measured from the ground to the highest point in the fender openings, perpendicular to the ground (with the tape measure passing across the center of the wheels.
