To be honest, the F/R relative heights look to be about right in your pic.

"The lower sill of the body should be the same height at the rear of the front wheel opening as the height at the front of the rear wheel opening..." (http://www.924.org/techsection/Suspe...reparation.htm)

Yes, on our cars it looks like the rear is "lower" when you do this, but that's how it should be for balance and handling...

The quick and easy check for a lowered street car is 25" to the highest point in the wheel arch opening. Coincidently the stock wheel/tire diameter is 25" - so the top of the tire should be even with the top of the fender /quarter arches. Good for looks and handling. any lower and you will have bottoming issues, the stock A arms will get the ball joints over stressed and the suspension will be forced to far from the optimum range (bump steer and ugly camber changes)

Be careful. If that gets full you will suddenly suck a whole bunch of oil into the intake leading to detonation.
