Wheel Lift

My R56 MCS in a fairly aggressive turn, my rear trailing wheel lifts off the ground with about 3-4 inches of air space. I pretty much run a stock suspension with a 22MM rear sway bar set at the softest setting and a mild camber of -1.4 in the front. The rear unloaded wheel lift in the start of the turn then stop and on track out falls back onto the ground. This happens with straight braking/turn, trail braking and a light throttle breathe/turn under power with no brakes.

What does DSC do when the wheel lift under power? As far as I can tell, it does nothing.

Think DSC might know traction and weight is on the opposite side also wonder what ABS does under heavy trail brake.

Seems a little smarter than I thought. Maybe it is an override?

I never had ABS turn on under trail braking. And I am from the Skippy school philosophy. I drive people crasy because almost every turn can be a trail braking opportunity.
