If you measure the underside of the chassis, you'll discover that the 1/2" "rake" really isn't a rake at all. It's an artifact of the fender design.
If you lift the rear, you'll bias the car more towards oversteer/away from understeer. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] on behalf of Steve Kiffmeyer Sent: Tue 3/10/2009 5:42 PM To: MiataPower; SSCOR Subject: Suspension Rake effects I am getting ready to do some major suspension overhauls on my 96 M-edition. Most folks have a higher lift on the rear than the back(rake). I have always had my car even front to back. About 12.25 inches wheel center to wheel arch. Is there any difference in handling with a rake versus no rake for autocross?
