it seems stupid and un-aerodynamic to have the front higher.
Get the car level, or have the front slightly lower for better results imo.
Looks better to me personally.

Hi
Most cars do not have the same curve in their front and rear wheel arches. This is why you often end up with different ride heights front to rear and the car still looking good.
In many cases when you try to match wheel arch heights you end up with the car being bum down due to a lesser curve in the rear wheel arch.
I suggest you check and see what the front to rear rake is at those heights. Its no good having matching wheel to guard measurements front and rear if it means that you are so low that you rip you exhaust off or damage the diff, crossmenbers etc.
Have a look at the rake and let me know.

Scott
