Excessive front dive when braking may be from inoperative or compromised (weak or delayed braking action) rear brakes. They have to contribute to the overall braking of the vehicle or it can cause nose dive.
Have the front shocks been checked or changed?

Thanks very much to; ImperialCrown & Bob_Sheaves for their inputs, both of which I hadn't considered. I have experienced some delay in the brake pedal/braking reaction & I ck'd the reservoir level & the pads which have approx 3/16's at the Front & 5'16's at the Rears. This may be the biggest part of the problem. No, the shocks appear to be the originals, & that leads me to the 2nd input; I know about the amount of anti-dive being designed into the front susp. geometry, & The ' rate of change ' ( how fast it happens )- or the ' resistance ' is exactly what *I'm looking for- Thanks ! I'll ck out the mentioned shocks come Monday. Thanks to both of you guys for taking the time to lend a direction, it's much appreciated-especially for my 1st sign-in !
