well the car's rear technically won't be lower than the front, but it will look like its lower because the rear fender drops lower than the front fender... so the gap between the fender and tire will be less in the back than the front...

so if you measure the height by using "finger method" between the tire and fender (i.e. 2 finger gap... etc...) the rear will have a less gap... but if u measure from the ground... it should be even all around...

but thats why most springs drop less in the rear and more in the front (like 1.4Front/1.3Rear or 2 Front/ 1.75 Rear etc...)

to give it more of an "even" look but it also improves traction when the front is lower than the back...
