Dive is the downward movement of the front of the vehicle under braking, caused by longitudinal load transfer toward the front axle. The load transfer itself depends only on center of gravity height, wheelbase and deceleration rate, but how much of it appears as ride height change depends on the front wheel rates and on the anti-dive built into the suspension geometry. Anti-dive is the percentage of that transfer carried through the link angles rather than through the springs, and it comes from the side view angles of the control arms and the height of the resulting instant center. Substantial front anti-dive allows a car to run soft springs for compliance and mechanical grip while still holding its ride height, roll center and geometry steady through braking and turn-in, which keeps the roll couple consistent as the car moves from braking into cornering.
