17193, brake dive with sportlines Posted by Diceman19, Apr-23-03 08:35 AM
installed my sportlines a few weeks ago. i still have a lot of brake dive and it doesnt feel exactly stiff on corners either. i am a little dissapointed. many people were saying that brake dive, accel squat and cornering were all improved immensly. dont get me wrong, big improvement, but still some tuning to be done i suppose. i have factory shocks. any suggestions on how to get rid of my problems? TIA

Get some decent struts, and get off 14s. That will cure a lot of problems.

yep, I'm dropped on factory stuff just like you....can't run our stock shocks and struts bro, gotta get new ones. Get some Tokico Blues if you aren't crazy about your supension, if you are get Tokico Illuminas.

They are both correct. Most likely you do not have any compression damping left in them. Now that you are lowered, brake dive will be even more of a problem.
The squatting you are refering to is the rebound damping your stock struts do not have. This causes the front to lift, making you feel as if the rear squats.
Having good aftermarket struts will solve this.

it might be that the front spring rates are low. Sport lines are sport shox not race so it's probably not that stiff like race shox are. Also if you have rear drums that would create brake dive with rear calipers you car will dive less and brake more level.
