Something wrong here. Check to make sure the shipping blocks still are not in the suspension.

cs82685: Something is defiantly wrong. Like smike said, check the front suspension. There are blocks in the suspension to raise the front making it easier to get it on and off the shipping truck. They should have been removed during the Pre-Delivery-Inspection.
More wheel gap in the front is totally normal, but that's just absurd !!!

Technically the rear isn't "lower". The fenders are at different heights. There is nothing wrong with your ride height at all. Stock Evo's sit the exact same way, but many springs lower the front of the car an extra 1/2" inch stricly for look and many people with coil-overs just slam the **** out of the car with no worry of suspension geometrey 
I have Robi-Spec springs with a 1" drop on all four corners.
I had Swifts on my old Evo and the stance looked a little better, but I wanted to try something new on my new Evo. I love the Robi-Spec springs, and the Swifts too. Nobody ever asks me, but if they were I'd suggest Swifts over the Robi-Specs ONLY because they drop a little lower in the front and they look slightly better. As far as performance goes, I rate them to be near equal in my experiences with the two. I've had Tein's and Tanabe's as well and I hated them.
But the conclusion is, if you're all that worried, raise the rear a 1/3" and drop the front 1/3" and that'll give it a nice stance
