On a suspension note. It's job is to maintain the tire's contact with the ground. Race cars designed from the ground up to specifically be for racing have more suspension travel than you think. There isn't anything wrong with having long suspension travel. Also keep in mind when you are turning hard to the right the suspension on the right side will be unloaded.
