Sometimes spring manufacturers will make the front a little higher in order to
increase the handling performance while trail braking. This means feathering
the brake while entering a turn -and thusly making the car settle down up
front. The net result is a "normal" ride stance under cornering conditions.

I'll admit, though, it doesn't really *look* all that racy.
