January 24, 201213 yr comment_378631 I'll add that lots of RWD cars do this. Watch a 911 some time. Since the rear engine car is rather light on the front, the inside front may be several inches in the air - and that's normal. FWD are the other way around. I've got pictures somewhere (film, not digital) of my old Scirocco (with lots of sway bar) in an auto-x with at least 6" of air under the inside rear wheel. Watch a Rabbit on the track some time - it can be amusing.

January 25, 201213 yr comment_378712 I don't have near the stiffness John does, but my inside front gets light as well. This is with cut springs and aftermarket bars. This is my $500 crapcan racer.

January 25, 201213 yr comment_378741 Our car behaves similarly. The inside tire leans in enough to raise the outside 1/3 of the tire off the ground. Here is a shot from the track before we did any suspension work. Stock springs, dead shocks, no rear anti-sway bar.

January 25, 201213 yr comment_378745 Look at the pictures on the front page here to see how the Porsches do it.

Here is a shot from the track before we did any suspension work. Stock springs, dead shocks, no rear anti-sway bar.Control the roll (in this case it may be as much or more due to the inside suspension jacking up around the corner as it is the outside suspension compressing) and you'll fix that. This gets pretty technical and there are lots of different viewpoints on the subject which is why I didn't want to get into it here, but this post pretty much tells the story and you can follow it up from there if you like.http://forums.hybridz.org/index.php/topic/63492-suspension-tech-motion-ratio-unsprung-weight/page__view__findpost__p__617208 Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/42046-why-does-my-car-lift-a-wheel-in-a-corner/?&page=2#findComment-378764 Share on other sites More sharing options...
