You notice alot of picts with cars getting inside wheel lift in T4. I have been working hard on avoiding this by braking almost to the apex instead of early throttle at turn in.

I was suprised to see this -- certainly couldn't feel it. There must be tons of grip on that left rear wheel. I suppose braking later and trailing through would help keep some weight forward, but that is compensating for the real problem which I'm thinking is not enough rear spring rate...There is a lot of compression on that left rear.

Darren,

It's all about weight transfer. And suspension travel.... You hit the nail on the head, the car needs more spring rate.

To compound the problem most people put bigger anti-sway bars on their cars (instead of stiffer springs) and that then limits the downward movement of the inside wheel.

If the car is street driven you reach a point of compromise where you don't want to go stiffer and then you simply live with lifting the inside wheel.
