Only comment is that in general, the rear of the car should be at the same level or higher than the front. all cars are made that way afaik !

Seems that springs are ok.
I don't know what else can affect bad your car's suspension.
Maybe the absorbers have lower performance?

for a short time i had set it at the same height front - rear and it handled very differently. Better i thing. Too bad i didn't keep it for a long time as i had the same thing in mind like you (better to have the nose lower) and my mechanic's idea too.
As for know i thing that the front has been set a bit a lower so here lies the problem

The rear is set lower stock because of the fact when you give people a ride in you car ,the rear will drop of the added weight.
Another factor is the front will tend to lift when you accelerate hard .
With stiffer suspension and/or bushings ,strut bars your car will flex less and you need to compensate less in ride height too.
