ideal ride height?

Hi just wondered if there is an ideal ride height?
I have evo x enkei 18x8.5 on 235/40/18
Lowered on bc br coilovers.
When the guy installed them he said it was even Front and rear from ground up. But it looks like the rear is lower. I'm thinking of raising the rear a bit. But would that make front lower than the rear?

The rear fender is lower then the front so it just looks like it's not level.
I didn't care for that my self and lowered the front slightly. Doing this though does mess with corner balancing and I can tell it's off on tight turns. Also your front lip will likey scrape because it's now angled down.

My advice would be to leave it level. I'm planning on raising my front .5" back to level come fall.

I do like the 'raked' look with the lower front end but it does screw you in the turns.
