The 3 mm minimum is useless in heavy rain in the Alps ... the 7mm raise in front is nothing serious comparable to the change when you fully load your EV2 ... the front/back question is interesting and I shall try to get a detailed answer from my uncle who is an expert... until then I definetely agree with Werner, because of a very simple reason:
if you happen to loose grip on the rear tires, most good drivers have a fair chance of keeping the car on the road .... when you drive into a curve, where a tractor left some mud and if your front slips outwards , even the best drivers can hardly do much .... I would pray for as many mm of FRONT tires as possible (speeking for a car with front traction of course).
