Re: Braking Systems

motorcycles used something like this in the 80's, called "anti-dive", which was a simplistic valve in the front forks that would engage when the brakes were engaged with effort.

Was a horrible setup on bikes, and thankfully quickly went away. Made the front end too stiff and it would chatter on uneven pavement. In a corner it was even worse. Most people disabled the systems.
