You say it looks higher than the back. Is it that it looks higher in the front, or is it actually higher in the front? If the height along the rocker is the same distance from the ground in the front and in the back, the car looks as if its @$$ is dragging.
If you're only concerned with easy wheel squealing, @$$ up is the only way to go. If you want it to hook up--something that's a major problem with f/g/f cars--a lower in the back stance will increase the hook up rate dramatically because it moves the center of gravity toward the back of the car.
