Now to be honest, I haven't done scientifical measurements or anything, but I haven't ever really noticed a rake on other miata. And if it is a "turbo, more power" thing, then why isn't the common advice to any new turbo install to "add a inch of height to the back to make it blah blah"

There have been a few posts about rake. Beyond that if you look at any recommend alignment for a Miata they all call for at least .25 rake. When I got my FCM setup they told me to use .25 rake and my car is stock power. And for some light reading here is what 949racing says about Miata alignments.

It has to do with suspension geometry, variable loading of the rear suspension (cargo, people, fuel etc...) and weight transfer. Some have speculated a hint on aerodynamics too (I hold no opinion on this) and even that the fenders are designed differently front and rear...meaning that if you level the car according to the wheel-fender height (making them the same front and rear), you wouldn't be evenly lowering the car as a whole.

Sweet, thanks. Every search I've tried either comes back with someone hitting a rake in the road, or asking a question about their Brakes.
I'll be honest, I still don't really understand the reasoning after reading the info on 949, but at least I've read it. Maybe if someone has some crayons and could draw me a piktar it would make more sense.
