Somebody from the club had this in their photo album. Does it look like my front end is lifting?
LG G2 springs, Revalved Bilsteins, and a lot of weight taken off the front end.

Oh, and this is the front stretch at Watkins Glen....can't tell exactly where, but it's probably in
the 100-125mph range.

Ok, here is the picture of the car at rest:

Edited to make the picture fit, and to add car at rest.

... you're getting the lift due to the pressure under the hood. It's all negated as soon as you lift off the throttle and apply the brakes, though. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)
A picture of the car at rest will probably show the car at least an inch lower than this posted picture.
All of it has nothing to do with the bar or camber.

... plus the color of the seats in the stands indicates its about the beginning of the brake zone on the front straight
