It will help your nose-dive problem, but not very much. You'll need a combination of replacing your shocks and struts, at least in the front as well as a rear disc conversion.

The idea is that when your car nose dives, it puts more wieght on the from end and makes it easier for you to lose traction. This causes your front brakes to lock more easily. Converting the rear to disc brakes will reduce the workload on your front brakes, but the nose dive when braking hard will still cause a loss of traction on the front end.

Costs........$200 for parts-rear disc conversion. Ask around for labor or DIYS.

New shocks and struts. $500 for parts assuming your install it yourself and aren;t looking fora sport or racing lowered suspension.
