Unstable during braking carbotech xp10/xp8

Definitely think its an extreme weight transfer issue. I have the same carbotech set up, and since raising the front a bit to help with nose dive the issue is less apparent. Unrelated to this particular issue, I'm increasing my spring rates soon to a stiffer set up and think it should help by resisting nose dive as well.

I think that is the issue as well. It seems like I am not the only one so it makes me slightly less irritated. Just need to figure it out the proper setup. It seems like it's a nismo thing!

If i recall correctly Zs have more weight up front than rear, so hard braking, especially with good pads, will do that. I now (after tracking) see why I was recommended 16/9 spring rates for the car back when I ordered my suspension.
