Is this normal Activa behaviour?

Great video on youtube


at 0:32 you can see one of the rear wheels lift off the ground cornering, and again a few minutes later. I don't think i ever pushed my 2 Activa's that hard on corners when i had them , but i would have expected the car to lose grip before doing the wheel lift. Is this how they are suppose to act under extreme cornering or is something broken?

at 14:20 is how it should work.

I thought it was quite common on an activa with decent tyres for it to happen when pushed really hard? It happens in a good few hot hatches with good chassis'a that they cock a wheel as it's called.
Ideally you want all wheels on the ground going round a corner so it could be low pressure for the Rams I suppose...

Yes, all Activas do that when things get really hard
I've been in bot of these 2 Activas, driven the one where the camera is - and I can confirm you both work very well, the latter being more than 280'000km and having both hydractive spheres removed to force it in "almost firm" mode (electrovalves are still there though to allow communication between left and right wheels when the car in "soft" mode).

With 200kg of useless interior stuff removed and ~40 extra bhp, both are pretty amazing.

No idea what they should do, but I enjoyed the videos! This is one of my favourites....
