As the title says I'm not 100% on the effects of rake//ride height on the rear suspension on my Novakar so I thought it wise to ask here.
The car is a the 3rd Novakar built; for autocross I set the rear ride height 1.5" higher than the front. For the road racing I used the notes that came with the car and set the rear 1/2" higher than the front.
The extra rake seems to help the car turn at autocross but I'll fully admit that I do not know that it actually helps as I also changed the toe at the same time. I'm running 3/16" toe out for autocross vs 1/16" toe in for road racing.
I'm assuming the extra ride height is changing the rear suspension geometry enough to have a positive effect on the handling for autocross.
So my basic question is the 1" change in ride really doing anything or am I whizzing up a rope?
Any and all advice welcome.
