Question How 2 Keep From Nosediving

I will have new springs, struts and shocks coming soon. What, other than that, can I do to my old '91 RS to keep the front from nosediving so bad when I put on the barkes ?
Thanks,

I am just getting the stock replacement springs for right now. I will be going with the Hooker Long tube headers soon and I don't want any clearance issues.

adjust the rear brakes tighter. but the springs and struts will be the biggest help.

For sure, the Spohn TA was one of my best suspension mods
