Braking & jump landings

Nose-dive under braking / lands nose-low

The front collapses when braking, and the car lands front-first off jumps.

💡 The idea: Support the front and shift bias rearward.

Try these in order

Make one change at a time and re-test — that's how you learn what your car likes.

  1. 1
    Stiffer front springs / thicker front oil

    Resists the front diving.

  2. 2
    Less front droop

    Limits how far the front drops.

  3. 3
    Move weight rearward

    Less forward pitch.

  4. 4
    Fresh / adjusted brakes (less initial bite)

    Smoother braking reduces the dive.
