I suggest:

1) Cut the elevation regions and set Terrain Specification>Building Pad>Subfloor Height Above Terrain to manual, and enter a value that places the terrain where you want it, relative to the first floor/garage:

2) Now Paste Hold Position your elevation regions back in place and finish manipulating the terrain as required:

In my opinion setting the terrain height manually makes subsequent manipulation easier and more predictable. That said, modifying terrain in Chief can be very frustrating.

I also find it easier to Create the Terrain on the 1st level but maybe that's just me? 

 

In this particular case setting the Terrain height manually makes all the difference and you can use real world measurements , eg set it to 20" , then the Front region can be extended ( always pull regions outside the Terrain Perm.) and set to 0" ( really -20" )  and you can then set the rear one to -90 or so. Remembering terrain regions influence the Terrain Perm. which is already at -20 really , so -20+-90 =-110 or 9'2" below Level 1 subfloor , a cross section can help you wrap your head around some of this ....
