Bad nose dives under braking

Everytime I finish a race the front of the car drags on the ground..My ground effects keep getting F!ed up. The car hooks very well. The springs and shocks are all stock. Anyone else have these problems?

Re: Bad nose dives under braking

you need new shocks. the only bad thing is that to prevent nose dive, you need to get a firmer shock, and this will have a negative effect on weight transfer durring your launch. Im sure any new shock will be better than what you have now. maybe look into some drag shocks.

Some larger rear brakes could help a little bit too. But getting new shocks will help out the most.
