Allow me to preface the following remarks by saying that I could not carry Tyson's bags WRT this subject. But I do find these types of threads very educational.

I have about 1 degree of rake in my SC, measured at the door sills. When we did the corner balance, rake was never a consideration. It is what it is. I would guess rake is simply an effect, with the ride height and corner weighting being the cause. I would guess that most everyone's car will end up in the 1 degree with a plus/minus 1 additional degree.

In theory, if one lowers the car using the adjuster bolts 1/2 inch in front, that only amounts to an additional 0.24 degree rake. Yet, doesn't a 1/2 inch lowering have a relatively large affect on the weighting?
