Ride Height Rake Calculator
Ride Height & Rake Angle
R% = (Rh - Fh) ÷ Wb × 100
Ride height and rake angle are fundamental suspension geometry settings that affect aerodynamics, handling balance, and weight transfer characteristics. Positive rake means the rear of the vehicle is higher than the front.

Typical Rake Settings
- Street Cars: 0.5% - 1.5% positive rake.
- Track/Road Course: 1.0% - 2.5% positive rake (helps with turn-in and aerodynamic nose-down stability).
- Drag Racing: 2.0% - 4.0% positive rake (to pre-load weight transfer to the rear tires).
- Drift Setups: Often run lower (0.0% - 1.0%) to maximize overall contact patch and predictability.
