- What's the objection to raising a wheel? Seriously. I have an 85 Golf race car
- that is very stiff. It always raises the inside rear wheel. Rabbit race cars are
- much less likely to do this. My car is as fast in a turn or faster.
-
- I have a 911 Targa. The suspension is stock. It lifts the inside front tire on
- the track.
-
- In both cars, lifting a tire is not what effects the handling of the car. Take
- your pick on which tire you want to lift.
