Just wondering if anyone has any experience with running a little rake (front ride height lower than rear ride height) or if everyone is basically running flat/even? I guess running a little rake cuts down on the drag of the car and lift of the front end.

I know on my old car the springs dropped the front end (H&R race springs/prelude) .2" more than the rear end but it was a FWD car. Just wondering from a functional stand point if RX7's should have a little rake. I will be getting another alignment since I swapped out all my suspension bushings and can change the height beforehand.

Also, when taking measurements, take them from the suspension joint tie ins? bottom of those tie ins?

 

I dont think the FD looks great running rake . but thats just my opinion .

rake causes the care to oversteer make , just like reverse rake causes understeer , I've seen most everyone run neutral .

But I know some springs came with rake .

 

Don't think it'll matter too much on the street, but a little rack for the track makes it a little bit better for turn in. Depends on the rest of your set up as well though.

Just don't reverse it (front higher than the rear).

 

Actually this can lead to quite interesting applications for autocross, although I'd probably only recommend it on something like a FB where you have to work around some serious suspension quirks.

 

I am running about 1/4" lower in the front than the rear and thats what I am going to go with.

 

FC's run around an inch of rake stock. it varies with year and model
