As per title its a C2 and was wondering is there a easy way to check this? it drives 100% but the rear right is laying low and causing a minor bit of rubbing on the 18s :(
 
Jason,

Any specialist with alignment capability will be able to check and/or adjust the ride height. The rear springs particularly are quite stressed on the 911 because of the weight in the rear and they do tend to sag with age. When I had mine replaced last year with the H&R set it made an amazing difference and JZ said that the rear springs were completely shot. There are some specs in Adrian's book regarding ride heights but it's quite difficult to check since it relies on measurements from the ground to specific bolts on the suspension.

Hope that helps.

Regards

Dave
 
Hi, iv seen this mentioned before about the adjustment in rear suspension, heigh wise? how is this done??
 
Jason,

There is a threaded collar under the bottom spring seat which can be adjusted to alter the ride height. This is also how corner balancing is achieved. The collars often get badly corroded due to their vulnerability to the weather and may need some coaxing to move.
