FWD lifting rear wheel... Bad??

[Greg Amy]

No. It's an indication of a FWD setup.

And soft front springs.

[Greg Amy]

Not really. I've run 1300# front springs on the Integra and still lift the rear tire. That's because I was running 2000# rear springs and a solid rear bar (no, not any more).

FWD race cars will lift the rear tire, regardless of front spring rate. It's normal.

It's nothing to worry about. You want those front tires on the ground all the time. You just need one (outside) rear tire on the ground at some point.

Not sure you can "tune" the rear lift without adversely affecting something else.

[callard]

Tricycles don't corner as well as go karts. Porsches lift front tires and oversteer like MFs when the front to rear springing and sway bars aren't correct. Keeping all four on the track is important. We don't lift a rear tire on the Type R we run in the enduro races.

FWD needs the rear tire up about 3 in or less. If it is on the ground, that weight(30#+) is not transferred to the inside front tire.
It is a tick faster. Enouhg so that I have reduced the rear springs and added rear bar.

I believe go karts have chassis flex built into them, and this is tuned, to create inside rear tire lift/unloading during cornering. Without that the kart will push like a dump truck.
