I know what U mean I had the same 2 weeks ago. But them there was a pro who came up to me and told me to lower the front. I reacted the same as U dit, but dit it anyway. It improved my laps with a full second. Dont know it its in my head or the car but it dit make a difference.
He told me whem the car is stationairy the front looks low. When U hit the throttle the front wil rize. When U stir in to a corner U hit the brakes first U want your front to be as low as possible for max grip when cornering.
Anyway to me it made a difference and its a tuning done in a sec. So U could give it a try. If it is no good go back to old set up in a sec. So U spil 2 seconds trying.
