Front end geometry???
I was reading an article in a local mag today who were trying to get their FWD turbo car to hook up. One of the steps was :
"Alter front-end geometry to reduce lift. Most FWD cars with struts have the rear mounts for the control arms situated higher than the front mounts. This provides some anti-dive under brakes, but also encourages lift under acceleration. Bringing the rear mounts down so the control arms pivots are almost level will reduce the lift noticably"
Has anyone had any experience playing around with this? Comments??

I would think your are just shortening up the play in the spring and the strut assembly. Eseentially making it stiffer in the rear. You may already see something like this with the aftermarket pieces avail. See link
