mines about 50mm and is much lower at the front. Doesnt have anything in the back so makes sense, surely the more you lower the back, the more undesteer youll induce?

mines 60mm and is the same, coilovers will sort it as you can adjust it so it sits level, i don't recommend cut springs tho they seem dodgy imo

FWD are typically like that, it's better for handling to have the front lower.

Explain why most FWD cars are level instead of rear higher?

My RS handled fine with rear end level with front.

But to go with the original question, springs and lowering kits are always lower on the front on the fiestas.
