    FWIW, a car will generate more grip and corner better with 4 wheels on the ground than with 3. If a car lifts a wheel in steady state corners, it's generally a bad sign. If it lifts a wheel due to some irregularity in the track, a bump or a dip for example, or perhaps if the the track falls away dramatically, suspension dynamics may result in a momentary lift. In the above photo of my car, lifting results due to a slight dip in the track. Photos taken slightly before and after this one show all 4 wheels on the ground.

    Still, it sure looks cool!
    Definitely agree. :up:

    Strut bars have nothing to do with it.

    If you have not enough rear roll stiffness (spring or bar) and too much front stiffness (usually an aftermarket antiroll bar, but it can happen on stock bars also) you lift a front wheel.
