Default Anti lift - at rear?

Hi peeps,

Need some guidance. Under heavy braking on a downward incline, the rear of my bug eye WRX becomes a likkle twitchy as the weight transfers to the front. Anyone with an idea how to even this out, or counter this, without resorting to the suggestion of "a couple of bags of cement" .
Does the front anti-lift kit help with this?

Cheers in advance.

Phil.

ALK wont do jack.

Any worn bushes? u sure its cos of the weight transfer and there is not something worn out? I guess bug age would be comming up to typical rubber wearing out issues.

I suspect that you have a too much braking on the rear. Probably due to the rear pads having a higher coefficient of friction than the front.

If the front and rear pads match, then it could be a dynamic geometry problem. A geometry check might be a good idea........
