Camaro w hotchkis leafs - one wheel off the ground in a driveway? - Lateral-g Forums

Quick question for you all.

I'm running Hotchkis subframe connectors, rear lowering leafs and QA1 shocks dialed to the softest setting.

When I pull into a semi-steep driveway at an angle one rear wheel will lift up off the ground and spin a bit. Is this normal for a camaro with a properly stiff chassis or are my leafs not installed correctly. Yes I do have posi.

The rear suspension does seem pretty stiff on the highway, not rock hard but definitely firm. Car does great on the track so maybe its normal?

Just a random thought I figured I'd ask about.

did you tighten down the shakles with the car up on a lift? If so they might be in bind.

With the weight on the wheels loosen the shackles and re-tighten them with the suspension loaded.

Just an idea.

Yes, pretty much normal ...
