anti dive kit changes the geometry of the front suspension, so that the vector of the reaction forces from braking passes closer to the center of gravity (mass) of the vehicle.

i already posted an explanation with pictures on the forum , just search it.


using stiffer springs to reduce pitch angle of the car during braking is not the best solution.

springs should be used to carry the weight of the car,

and then ARB's and shocks to limit its roll/pitch

i can only imagine the size of the shocks needed to control a spring that stops the car from pitching. bye bye kidney stones [:D]

ARB = Anti roll bar
TCA = Track control arm (the bottom arm connecting the strut to the chassis

Beans is showing his substitute for the normal ARB.
