How do you guys measure rake?
Harbor freight Cen-tech angle finder $2.39

Is the rake measurment more important than keeping the factory delta between the front and rear torsion bar heights?
I would keep the factory delta between bar heights and then adjust only if rake disappeared [front to high]. For aero and weight distribution purposes, I would try to stay close to 1" - 25.4 mm rake towards the front [front is lower].

MS Excel Spread sheet:

Thanks for taking some measurements guys. It would be very helpful if the rest of you could also take some measurements of your 911s so I can plug into the attached spread sheet.

My purpose in doing this is so that if people want to report a certain benefit / issue in handling, or want to see what a drop of X looks like ... we can have a reference point.

* RSR Bilstein or raised spindle equipped 911s may be NA
