Rear wheels jumping under heavy braking

I reckon Rusty has this right - needs more rebound at the rear as the shocks are allowing too much pitch towards the front which unloads the rear

Thank you all very much!

I've currently got the coilover on about 2 clicks from the softest out of a possible 12 clicks.
I will increase the stiffness (I'll try the middle setting) on all 4 corners as suggested and see how it is and report back.
It would be great if that's all it is.

Thanks again everyone!
