Default How Important is "The Rake"

I need to lower the back of my A Stock '02 Targa that is used only for autocross and as a daily driver. Probably won't lower the front because it scrapes on my driveway as is.

How important is the rake?? Any affect on aero for daily driving or anything else except for 100+mph driving?

I've searched and can't find anything adverse.

Thanks

Rake won't matter under 100 aero wise
