Suspension rake.

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.

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.

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