Man, if I could pull of the miracle of fixing Atlanta's roads, I would be rolling like you.. But I can't so I'm not.
Head over to ATL anytime. You really should check out some schools. Creative Circus really comes to mind..

Nice ride angle, not about to call it rake. It looks about a half inch taller in the rear, which makes it all seem right. Anything more looks like someone mismatched lowering springs F and R. Oh, and for all you reverse rake nazi's, check this out. Does this look reverse rake? The angle of the pic itself doesn't help, but the rocker is DEAD FLAT with the ground, no pads F or R with H&R Race, I ended up putting the rear pads back in, so its a half inch taller in the rear, but you people kill me calling reverse rake whenever it doesn't seem like someone has a jack under the rear of the car.
FWIW- this is FLAT ...
Looks weird with the lower rear arches.

It seems that the illusion is just that. With the rear arches being lower
than the front i think there is no way to overcome this phenomena.
My personal goal (for my car -the cabbie) is to drop the rear enough to achieve the slightly higher look in the rear, but not much. Another issue that comes up is that if your car is just right to start with then you add 3 passengers and some stuff it winds up being way too low - so haters will be haters. Trash, i like what you done
just don't let 'em give you no sh!t.
