Standard suspension slightly nose up?

Is it my imagination, or does a mk1 with standard suspension have a slightly nose up stance (slightly higher at the front)?

I just noticed this on a few pics of standard cars in mags and online.  Maybe just be me or my wonky eyes of course ;)

How did you sort it peeriehutchie as mine is the same but always put it down to lower rear springs (or knackered ones).

I had this with mine too, I sorted mine using Mk2/3 Polo front spring top caps, they're about 20mm shorter than the Mk1 Golf ones.  

Mk1 on left, Polo on right:


Found this out when I replaced the strut inserts on my Mk2 Polo. 8)

It's not just standard suspension.

I've got a matching set of -40mm springs and shocks (Boge, naff IMO) and many have asked if it's lower at the rear - just one of those things I suppose.
