... It doesn't make sense?

The car's weight ratio is 60/40 about.

To keep the car level, the springs in the front have to be:
1. longer, or
2. stiffer

If installed correctly your car should be level unless the manufacturer intended otherwise.

I have trd springs, shocks and struts. My car is level.

dude, the front is suppose to be higher than the back because our tCs are front wheel drive. It's suppose to be that way.

... that doesnt make sense.

One reason the front looks higher than the back is because the front wheel wells are cut out bigger than the back.

Exactly. The car itself is sitting level it just doesn't "look" level. If you even up the wheel gap then the car itself will have a raked look to it. Which is not a bad look but can effect handling.
