proper way of lowering car?

I recently lowered my car with jic coilovers. I want to make sure i lowered it right. The front is a lil bit lower compare to the back juso it gives it a slight rack stance,but the gap is eliminated equally on all sides from the top of the tire. I was told by a friend who road race a lot to keep it like that for many reasons. Is this the proper way? or should the car be all even from ground.........

Is ok. If you want to be perfect then you have to find out your cars weight ratio on each corner.

Most of the EVO race cars around here set pretty level (side skirts parallel with ground) or have the rear just a little bit lower than the front. For example, on my car the rear tire tucks up into the wheel well just a bit, but there is probably a 1-1.5" gap from the front tire to the front wheel well.

If you are going for looks just slam it as low as you can without rubbing.
