ok lets stop all the name calling now and state the facts. first off hitting your brakes as you get hit by radar does nothing because the laser bounces off and back so fast your breaks can't help you. Now on to the whole discussion of brakes and setup here is a basic rundown for ya. You run larger brakes and bias to the front of the car because as basic vehicle dynamics tells us and as randomtask said as a vehicle deccellerates the nose dives it all has to do with the moment develop by the brakes. Think of it as dragging a pin on a desk, under acceleration the bottom is pushing forward which is why the nose of our cars lift when accelerating. Under decceleration the opposite occurs, the bottom of the pin is slower than the top causing the top to roll over. This is why the nose dives, the body is rolling over the suspension. Now on to the concerns of vehicle setup, rollbars are not in effect in braking at a straight line. Sway bars are only used to control side to side roll, springs and shocks are used to control the pitching of the car. To setup a car properly the main idea is to use the minimal spring needed to control pitching as to gain optimal camber gains and weight transfer, you them use swaybars to control body roll in corners. Most people screw up and think super stiff springs are the way to go, the result in a car is a skating effect causing the car to slid in turns instead of sticking around the corners.
