Default Setup question w/photos for analysis. r71

Here are a couple of photos. I was wanting to see if anyone had any thoughts.

Both photos are of the car in a power on left turn/sweeper. From the photos the front left wheel seems to be coming up there by reducing the contact patch. I am running 800 Front / 560 Rear spring. Is the car transferring to much weight to the rear? It seems relatively flat so I am not thinking more front bar/spring.

I am going to send the shocks in this off season to have more low speed support dialed in which will help.

this might be a redundant question but who cares what the contact patch of the inside tire is? to my knowledge the outside tire is the one doing all of the work.

if i am wrong im sorry.

Yeah i mean i think thats what you want it to be doing. You are essentially maximizing the weight on the outside tire, and if you have the grip then even better.
