Have fitted up a set of XYZ coil overs and dropped the ride height a good 1.5". In doing so i kept the original rake front to rear for ease of setup.
Is there any benefit in levelling the rear to match the front? Car is generally just a daily driver with the odd fang around corners tossed in.
Suspension rake.

Re: Suspension rake.
The rake looks terrible in my opinion, the car looks far better flat, particularly in photos if that is your thing.
I have raced a little bit of rake and almost none and didn't really notice any difference but there was significant geometry changes between the two.

Re: Suspension rake.
If you change the rake of the car over standard you end up changing the roll centre and hence roll axis.
