[QUOTE=b.guggenmos;546274]Not necessarily. That depends on where he is at now? Raising the bar moves the instant center rearward and higher and hits the tire harder. That may or may not make it try to wheel stand more?

This is good information. The higher into the chassis the front of the bar goes, the more tire hit, because you're getting less "leverage" against the chassis. The result of that loss of leverage is that the tire is driven into the track harder. The other side of the equation is that when the front attaching point of the bar is lowered, the car still may not wheelstand a great deal, because it simply may not have enough power to "lift" the chassis.
