The first photo has both front tires off the ground. The second is just a little latter when the left front tire has just touched back down.
Either this car has enough power to wheelie or there is a a terrain issue on that part of the course. Either way, drawing suspension conclusions for those two photos is a waste of time.

It's true that you really can't judge the suspension based on a photo. But, I will concur with most of the comments as I have been sorting thru the suspension as $ permit. I have posted in other threads with my concern as the suspension has not felt right. The car is very stiff and at high speeds, it does not feel nearly as stable as my 944. This was the reason I upped the front torsion bars to 22mm as I felt that the shocks were too strong for the bars. I had a similar issue in my 944 when I installed Konis, stiff at first yet after increasing the spring rate, the car smoothed out.
In this case, I felt that the suspension was not binding after changing the front bushings. The old bushings were completely worn and the suspension would barely move. It got better with the Poly bushings (maybe not perfect). I also noticed that the swaybar was stiff to move and I am planning to replace those soon. I have looked into the Elephant Racing stuff and $260 is alot but not a deal braker.
Regarding the road surface in the photo: This wasn't much of a bump but it definately has a slight slope.
Regardless, I'm very happy to have the photo because 1) it looks cool and 2) now I can discuss my suspension and show guys what I'm talking about. In section of the course, it has a large bump where the you cross it at a slant and at fairly high speed and probably going 60-60+). To me, a great suspension would smooth this out by having faster reflexes.
