Ride height

I recently installed KW suspension and they've installed it in a way that front axle is around 10mm higher than the rear (610 mm rear, 620 mm front). However when i looked at GTS settings for track i've noticed they've set it up this way:



Correct me if i'm wrong, but it looks like the rear is higher than the front. I mentioned this to the guy who installed the suspension and he told me it would mess up the center of mass in the car if i lifted the rear higher than the front. Soon i'll be changing the car suspension setup for track and i don't know if i should leave the car height the way it is or go closer to GTS settings and lift the rear. Is this normal that the front is higher than the rear?

It is. The stock m3 is higher front, GTS higher rear. I set mine equally. Search my posts about this. I discussed it extensively.

How are the values in the Ride Level column measured ?
609 and 619 measured from where ?

The GTS has 19" front rim and a 20" rear rim. Are these measurements from the bottom of the rim to the fender ?

Is this 609mm from the bottom of the rim to the fender?
