Default Ride hight/ To much rake with 28's for weight transfer? Vids in HD

Front shocks are strange singles. no front sway. Rear is stock springs, heater hose upper insolator. Stock shocks spohn 1inch rear sway, no airbag. On stock wheels, about 25.7inchs the car sits about 1/2 lower in the front. But I noticed with the 28s on the rear the car has a LOT more rake, and was wonding if its to much for tranvering weigh???? and I should get the to sit more level?

car on 26s stock wheels, 60's are 2) 1.7s, a 1.8, and a 2.0

on 28s: 1st time on them checking if they rub

Well thats was the 1st and only 3 passes on that wheel setup. I know I need more seat time, and will work on what rpm and all that.

Just noticed in the vids the amount of rake, and in the top video at night. I could see the car tranfering the weight good. And getting some really good 1.7s and low 1.8s on thosue tires. Made me wonder what rake is too much?
