I hope I explain this right but I look at it as the amount of time it takes to compress the shock before it bottoms out and then has no where to go but sideways for the front. Out rear, IMO, it seems your shifting to much weight to the front under hard braking. I was thinking more along the lines of double or triple adjustable shocks out back to minimize and slow that down. Like I always say, I'm no pro at suspensions but thats a peice of my thought process when I'm tuning.

I set the rear shocks up myself with my custom mounting brackets so it's definitely 2.75". You have to remember that we are coming to a complete stop at threshold braking. I do agree with slowing down the weight transfer but when you are braking for 100 feet or more, it's only going to slow the process. I'm going to do exactly what Brian told me to do in my next autocross and if that doesn't do it, it's time for a front spring change and/or rear shocks with compression and rebound adjustments. I've never really felt my car got out of the hole that well but last weekend definitely changed my mind on that whole deal. I still think I can get out of the hole better with better shocks and a taller first gear. Time will tell.
