there are some discussions about the 'angle' of the front end...ie the direction it points down at the nose.

I improved my mpg on the 2002 Infiniti Q45 by lowering the front just 3/4 of an inch.
the pivot point for what you did is the front axle.
while it may 'look' level, you have changed the overall aerodynamics of the body.
just my 2 cents.
Cleaning up the underbelly might help....see the link on my sig
