Re: front height

Personally I don't think a third gen body is even close to being symmetrical. Not sure about the front but I know the rear is different from side to side.

I've always known that my right rear tire looked like it was more under the fender than the left rear. After doing a back half on the car over the winter, I can confirm it. My wheelbase and wheel track width is the same on the front and the rear. The right rear wheel opening is a completely different size and shape than the left rear and it looks like the right rear wheel is more under the fenders than the left rear.

Although I use a tall skinny front tire, I don't really notice a difference in the wheel openings on the front but I'm sure they're also different. It's also possible that your car was in an accident at one time and isn't square.
