For what it's worth to you, that
slight reverse rake/look is actually what most Cobra owners are after! The wheel arches in the front actually make the car look a little taller at that point in the body. Having a slight air gap in the front wheel well and little to none in the back is
the look, and if you research originals in several published books and journals you will see the same thing. I'm not certain if that is the way they came originally, or you now have a bunch of sagging originals that people want to keep as they came to them. But simply raising up the azz end will actually make the tail lighter under heavy braking and you may actually worsen the balance. And I know from experience that sticking to the "factory" settings of 27" (ground to wheel lip) is actually too high.
Again, personal preferences and enjoy your car!
