In this no-brace case the other front tire is already very close to being lifted clear of the ground.

Whoa. Are you talking about say placing the floor jack just aft of the RF wheel, then with braces added to the mix..... the LF comes off the ground ?
I was referring to jack just aft of RF.. then with braces added, the RR also comes off the ground.
Way back a few yrs, somebody on S197 posted a pix, whereby the jack was aft of RF.....and RR and LF were also off the ground ! leaving only the LR in contact with the ground. I wish I knew where to look for that pix. I believe they had a full roll cage installed as well, (including through the A pillar area)..which may well explain the effect. To pull that stunt off, the jacking point would have to be inboard a bit, to get the exact balance point side to side...and front to rear.
On a similar note, can the unibody/chassis be viewed as a '5th spring'..between front and rear suspension ? If so, then the '5th spring' is undamped, which further complicates the entire mess. Checking some old notes that I could dig up here and there, some have said with the SFC's welded into place, the car then felt like either the front sway bar, and /or front springs were on steroids. It wouldn't lean as much in the corners...and that's with no changes to front sway bar settings, or spring rates, or camber adjustments. Bushing compliance, tire deflection, roll center, scrub radius, etc, etc, further makes the total suspension package, a hard concept to grasp. It amounts to a 3D twisting and bending myriad of components. Just when I think I have it figured out, I don't.

"There's a bit of an illusion and stuff left to the imagination going on with that demonstration"
I'd call it a damn good demo, truly impressive by most standards. Dunno why the SFC manufacturers, like steeda, KB, BMR, don't use it in their own videos.
