It is not always counterproductive. For example, in rainy conditions, it is beneficial to raise the chassis at both axles. In fact, on wet asphalt, a kart with a higher center of gravity helps to increase tire grip, loading the outer wheels more, which makes driving softer and more predictable, thus improving performance. Additionally, raising the center of gravity is useful to avoid unpleasant impacts on the kart’s undercarriage when driving over track edging or rumble strips. In this case, it is advisable to raise the chassis with respect to the factory configuration, so as to avoid loss of the kart’s stability or, even worse, damaging various components (Editor’s note: in this circumstance, before proceeding with changing the chassis’ heights, one could try to raise the parts that can more easily scrub against the curbs such as the side fairings, front spoiler and seat.
