John, if you'll notice on any stock Jetta, the front fenders/wheel wells 
are higher than the rear. Thus, the back always will LOOK as though it is 
lower than the front (when in reality it's simply that the fender is 
physically a larger/higher opening in the front). So unless you do indeed 
lower the front farther than the rear, it will always look thus. I don't 
know that I recommend lowering them by differing amounts, as perhaps 
there needs to be a balance there. But I'm not the mechanic and quite 
definitely not the expert.
