I have swift spec r springs for GSR and revalved Bilstein MR struts (revalved to match final spring rates) and my suspension geometry has a positive rake. Am i the only one?

From: somewhere testing various tires, brakes, and suspensions.

What?

Rake has a purpose. And a lot has driver feel worked into it. It does not shift or make the car crazy. We answered this years ago.
