I have a lifetime average of 38mpgUS with a max of 46mpgUS so I want to keep getting decent numbers.

Long ago HOT Rod Magazine published an article about findings reported by GM during inclination/drag tests conducted on a Chevy.Positive and negative rakes were investigated.Nose down was always better.But touchy!
I suspect that Toyota has fully investigated the Corolla and without a full-scale tunnel I would be hesitant to think I could outguess them.
It's true,that many really low-drag/high-mpg concepts have dropped noses only with 'active' suspension.
As far as I know,they NEVER reduce the amount of nose drop.
If you could lower both ends equally and maintain the stock inclination then that would be my recommendation.Watch your clearances though.Too low and the Corollas naughty bits may drag the ground!
