Tariqd Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Hi all, wondering if anyone has applied a positive rake to their supra (where the rear is raised higher than the front- correct me if I'm wrong). I quite like the idea of raising the back end with an already low front end. I can't say I've seen much of this around on the forums unless it's very subtle or its generally just not in good taste? I'm sure the effects in downforce are very minor though. Would like to know people's thoughts on this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevie_b Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 I imagine that if you did it, you might gain some noticeable downforce when travelling at high speeds (100mph+) in a straight line, but the handling/cornering would suffer badly at all speeds.

Guest Budz86 Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 A lot of the US big power cars run like this but they all have huge drag radials so don't have much choice. They mainly run in straight line highway pulls so cornering wouldn't matter much. Personally for UK roads I'd keep it quite neutral, although a little extra height at the rear gives the car room to squat I run mine like that but only to aid traction in a straight line Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra_ufo Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Chris who is a local supra owner runs this setup on his, its marmite for some people but I love it. Everyone thinks its running 1000bhp lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattdavies Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Mine is more subtle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tariqd Posted April 6, 2016 Author Share Posted April 6, 2016 Cheers for the responses guys I'm really liking the look even as a subtle effect and an active squat set up would be incredible. How does one go about doing this? Is it just certain coilovers? Because I've noticed there's no gap in rear wheel arches to the tyre...
