Rake in cars is the angle that the floor of the car makes with the ground.


You may need to buy another car. if you like this raked stance and you want your car to perform and handle well at the same time, you may need another car because the Z4 will always have the ass lower than the nose due to most of the weight of the car centered in the front and when corner balancing you will need to lower the rear more than the front.

Check how a Z4 is setup by BMW and listen to what Hack has to say.
I'd say corner balance that sweet ride and forget about its stance.

If you really want to impress someone, go do the following:
1- Euro headers
2- Decat Spipe leaving the chamber to pseudo- resonate.
3- Buy a straight-through muffler like RE diablo or RPI or SS or eisenmann.
4- Get evolve NA software
5- Shift @ redline

Pure DTM aural sex. I can post a video if you're interested.
