Default I knew it was stiff BUT!!!!

Had the wheels off this arvo. Put the trolly jack under the front right jacking point and started pumping. Got the front wheel to about 1 inch off the ground so easy to get on and off and noticed that the right rear wheel was also off the ground.

JUST!!!!!!!! but enough to remove the rear wheel without moving the jack.

I knew the chassie was sposed to be stiff but never seen any car that stiff before.

haha my rear wheel lifts off the ground when mounting kerbs (to driveways) according to Joe/Balistc.
When the Mrs mounts the kerb (not driveways) all 4 lift off!

Yep, it sure did!!! Happens to mine too when I go up the driveway

Nothing like my old RX7, I would jack the front wheel in the air and the back would stay on the ground...if the door was open, it couldnt be shut!!

happens to me all the time, when i lived in the hills i'd always find myself sitting in the car and tipping between two wheels over a large high bump in the driveway.
hopped out and had a look once. looks funny with one wheel sunk into the guard and the other at full extention.

So your saying that your suspension system does not work at all. The suspension system is there to keep the tyres on the road not off them

GC8 wasn't so stiff. Evo 8's are pretty damn stiff as well!
