After repair the passenger side lower link bracket on the axle, I did 'as-is' measurements on the suspension to see what my anti-dive actually. I had laid out the front much like the rear, so assumed it was good, but was way wrong. Anti-dive is around 50% at ride height (varies on how much I say the car does weight or will weight. So, that' no where near enough. The anti squat is over 100%, which is why the rear end feels so good.
My first assumption is to move the lower link frame end mount forward about 6 to 8". Which would steepen the angle - which I think will move the anti-dive point closer to where it's supposed to be. But I might also have to move the upper link either forward or up. I really hope I don't have to move the upper link frame side mount, it's a real PITA to get in there.
Edit: I went out and confirmed some of the measurements and the upper link was off. I fixed it, and the upper link is actually flatter than shown here and the anti-dive as-is is 100%. So, I'm not sure what to make of that. Very small differences in the links locations make a huge difference in the calculator. So, I'll put it back together and go out and drive it some more and get some video of it under braking.
