TT Rake front to rear??

I have seem all the alignment specs as far as toe and camber go.
What are you guys running as far as front to rear rake..
I have seem some TT's with the rear lower than the front, I aksed the onwer and he said it aligned easier that way.
Are most running the front lower than the rear or about the same.
Somewhere around 25" measured from ground to the bottom of the wheelhouse area on lowered cars???
I'm confused as to whats the right way for rake for tracking the car exclusive of camber and toe settings, I don't know how many corner balance their car but if so, is the rear lower than the front?

the rear is slightly higher when corner balanced correctly, but setting up you suspension depends on you, how you drive your car and for what type of driving, other variables would be tire type and size and suspension type and set up, i think for the most part depending on the suspension you should seek the recommended set up from the manufacturer from there you can tweek away. basically, it's gonna come down to your driving style. have fun tearing it up. duh, typo. this is in reference to tow, camber and ride height.

You should have about a 1% rake (front lower than rear). Anyone that is running the front higher to achieve other alignment specs is sacrificing handling...the car will seriously push.

As for corner weighting the car...basically you want the LF + RR to be equal to RF + LR.
