Also, some suspension designs incorporate an anti-dive geometry. Has the car been lowered by a substantial amount?
The car is 27 inches from the ground in the front and 27 and 3/16th in the rear. I don't think its the brake pads since its was squirrely when I had stock pads. The car is much more improved this year with SA colivers and the drop vs stock but I still feel like there's more stability to be had under hard braking.

Could some of the instability under braking be caused by toe loss when the rear end is unloaded?
